The United Kingdom could tighten the conditions in which European tourists enter the country once Brexit is consumed if the conservatives end up winning the general elections next December 12. After a campaign that is following, almost step by step, the one that the Leave carried out in 2016, the Tories now advocate to rekindle the distrust towards the citizens of the 27. "Sadly, every day drugs and firearms enter from Europe , fueling violence and addiction in our streets, "denounces Interior Minister Priti Patel, who has also denounced that terrorists arrive on British soil thanks to the freedom of movement of the Schengen area.

As The Times has advanced, conservatives are expected to announce a battery of measures similar to the American Electronic Travel Authorization System (ESTA), in which it is Boris Johnson's nth approach to the United States. This will mean, for example, that European tourists should ensure that they are allowed to enter the country three days before traveling or will be returned to their place of origin once they step on British soil. The European Union, in theory, also plans to implement a similar system as of 2021.

The plans that Patel will foreseeably announce today will include, for example, that Europeans will no longer be able to use their national identity documents to enter the country, but will have to do so through their passport. In addition, those EU citizens who have a criminal record may have a much more difficult entry into the United Kingdom.

All these new requirements, which could be more, are linked to the cost of the new visa and the fact that they will apply even to those who visit the country for just a few days. The Minister of the Interior, known for being part of the hard line of the party, wants to create a system capable of identifying the Europeans who enter so that they do not remain beyond the three months allowed.

All this despite the fact that, as the National Statistics Office (ONS) has shown in a recent study published last week, the net balance of immigrants from the European Union has fallen to its lowest level since 2003.

Between June 2018 and June 2019, the difference between the Europeans who arrived and those who left was 43,000 people, a fact that was only lower 16 years ago when the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary had not yet entered the community , Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia. The high point was reached in 2015, when the net balance was 219,000 people, at which point it began to fall sharply with the first signs of Brexit.

"The consequences of European laws that limit our ability to control our borders I live at home every day. Sadly, every day drugs and firearms arrive in our country from Europe, fueling violence and addiction in our streets," he said. denounced Patel. "And most important of all, we know that the terrorists have been able to enter our country taking advantage of the freedom of movement. After Brexit we will take measures to tighten our borders and improve security in the United Kingdom."

After a first phase of the campaign for general elections in which they advocated investing almost 100,000 million euros extra in the National Health System, the conservatives have now decided to wave the flag of fear. Following the attack last Friday at the London Bridge, where two people died and three others were injured, Boris Johnson has launched messages in which he is committed to the hardening of sentences, a promise already "unrealistic" from his own party . Meanwhile, from his Government they drop that the terrorists arrive thanks to the freedom of movement of the European Union, despite the fact that Usman Khan, responsible for what happened last Friday, was an Englishman from Stoke-on-Trent.
