“It is worth the while to stress a more fundamental issue that somehow encompasses our discussion: The right to mobility.
Article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights establishes that everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state. Whilst fundamental rights are systematically violated in many countries, even in the EU (Poland, Hungary, but also Spain), the pandemic has allowed an impressive experiment in mass control and manipulation everywhere.”
