and the French minister of interior has stated the same. Spain appears to be more strict in that even.
Only the most stupid will believe in free movement of persons within the EU in the future as the next real or imagined emergency will come for sure and the dangerous precedent has been set.
P.S. I do not own any real estate but feel for my friends who do
