The European response to the COVID 19 pandemic got off to a start confronting the spirit of mutual solidarity between Member States, one of our main values and principles. Thus, citizens were confronted with unilateral closures and nationalizations of health materials, surprised by such a radical change in European pragmatics. After this first reaction, Europe returned to its cooperative status, working its way to the cooperation between partners and the establishment of an emergency European fund that would contribute to the recovery of the continent. In view of this change of paradigm, I intend to study in a comparative manner the responses given by some of the European partners in the first moments of the pandemic in relation to internal border closures and the limitation of the freedom of movement established in the Treaty of the European Union, and the extend of the European cooperation to fight the pandemic and its consequences relating to the freedom of movement.
