GERMANY’S Interior Minister Horst Seehofer is battling with Chancellor Angela Merkel to CLOSE Germany’s border with Austria – a seismic move which threatens the very existence of the EU.
The call to close the German border would not only demolish one of the pillars of EU policy – freedom of movement – but would also see more migrants pouring into its neighbouring countries, especially Austria and Italy.
The clash has rocked the already fragile German government, which only formed in March following a coalition and months of wrangling and diplomacy.
