The End -for Visas- Is Nigh

A spectre is haunting Europe - the spectre of Turkey.

Following the latest European Court of Justice decision, which stated that the Turkish truck drivers -and implicitly, all other Turkish service providers- can travel in the EU without visas, there is a silent debate in Germany.

The German government wouldn't like any Turks to hear it, but yes, Turks should be able go to Germany without visas. The German authorities can still block them while entering the country, but now they know that it is illegal on behalf of the international law.

Sevim Dagdelen, an MP of Germany's Left Party, made the following announcement yesterday:

"The public announcements of the German government hide some facts, reflecting the ECJ decision as if it only covers Turkish truck drivers. My party had presented a formal question to the government, concerning the ECJ decision. Their answer implicitly suggests that the Turkish citizens can enter Germany without visas, if their visit would last less than three months. It includes the Turkish tourists, businessmen, artists and patients."

Meanwhile, there is a similar debate in the Netherlands. The Dutch parliament has rightfully rejected a draft, prepared by three far-rightist MPs, to force the government to legally guarantee that the visa policy against the Turks will continue. The parliament's refusal is honorable, but the government's position is not. The Dutch government says that they don't need such a law, because they won't abolish the visa anyway.

Anyway?

Against any binding decision by any international court...

They just don't care.

But how long can you suppress the right, if you're proven wrong? Wouldn't the justice be served soon or late?
