EU’s longest serving foreign minister makes SHOCK revelation: ‘This could destroy Europe’

Jean Asselborn, who has represented Luxembourg at
the Council of Ministers of the European Union since
2004, said the EU was grappling with three major
challenges - Brexit, migration and "the community of
values".
But of those three, he said certain member states'
refusal to accept immigrants and relieve the pressure
on the likes of Greece and Italy was the biggest
problem facing Europe.
Mr Asselborn suggested only the European Courts of
Justice could force Poland, Hungary and the Czech
Republic to fulfil their migrant quota.
Jean Asselborn said country's like Poland refusing to
accept migrants could destroy the EU

He told Austrian newspaper Tiroler Tageszeitung:
"Countries that do not want to open the door to
refugees, who speak Arabic and are Muslim, ignore the
values ​​of solidarity and responsibility.
"And that does not match what the EU actually
represents. It is a peace project, a project based on
values. It is not contracts that hold Europe together.
"These are the common values. And it is the values
that prevent wars. 2015 was not only about the
Geneva Convention, but also about solidarity with Italy
and Greece.
"Refusing to relieve those countries is something that
can destroy Europe. Because non-solidarity in the
refugee question also means non-solidarity in other
issues."
Greece is struggling to cope with the influx of
refugees
Jean Asselborn said pressure needed to be take off
Greece and Italy
He added: "But you can do well in elections if you say
you can eliminate the challenge of migration."
According to the European Parliament's annual
Parlemeter, Greece and Italy are now two of the top
three most eurosceptic EU states, along with Cyprus.
This week Italian MEP Marco Zanni predicted anti-
immigration countries could create a "bloc within a
bloc" to oppose Brussels diktats.
He said: “The governments of Poland, Hungary and
maybe the Czech Republic, in the future, could create
a bloc inside the Council which will oppose and create
a convergence in opposing some EU policies, for
example, immigration.
“It’s a clear possibility, and it’s a sign that European
people are switching to the so-called eurosceptic
parties because they are proposing that are creating
response to the three major crisis that European
people are living – the economic crisis, the
immigration crisis and the internal security crisis.
“To me, that is the main reason why people are voting
for and giving support to eurosceptics.”
