LISBON (Reuters) – Portugal’s foreign ministry said on Wednesday that some member states in the European Union had broken a pact to reinstate freedom of movement inside the bloc after coronavirus lockdowns were lifted.
“We understand we were all required to reinstate freedom of movement within the EU from July 1 the latest,” the ministry said in a statement sent to Reuters.
“We believe restrictions and decisions taken by member states related to other member states manifestly disregard this bond.”
