In conditions where the chaos from the airports has been transferred to the ports, English holidaymakers are in their thousands waiting from 7 hours to over 24 hours to cross into France through the port of Dover and Folkestone in the submarine tunnel that connects England with France.
Queues are kilometers long, creating a giant car park, and for this the Dover port authorities blame Brexit, which already means that passport controls are more rigorous and time-consuming. They say that they have had six years since the referendum to leave the European Union to prepare for the situation.
The statement from Dover’s port chief comes after he claimed Dover was sabotaged by French border control staff and cabins left empty on Thursday and Friday. This situation has led to the intervention of Foreign Minister Liz Truss, one of the two candidates to replace Boris Johnson in the controversy which has now become annual between France and England on border issues, calling it “totally avoidable”.
Meanwhile, the French counter that the decision to leave the European Union is to blame, adding that the port of Dover is too small for this level of traffic.
Undoubtedly, in these kilometers, there are also Albanian families who, in this period, leave England for their homeland for the summer holidays, which will surely have consequences with bookings for crossing with ferries or through the submarine tunnel. These situations prove how little information there was in the Brexit campaign when Boris Johnson’s right-wing government trumpeted that Brexit would stop foreigners from coming to Britain, rather than the obstacles British people might have to going to Europe, considering the journey to Europe as a historical privilege.
