The European Union has descended into vicious infighting as it continues to struggle with the migrant crisis, with the President of the Council and the European Commission at each other’s throats.
As head of the European Council which brings together the national governments of EU member-states, Donald Tusk is supposed to facilitate intra-bloc co-operation and represent the EU at the level of heads of state or government, but is regarded as a tool of the German government and “an instrument in the hands of Europe’s liberal-left elite” by the government of his native Poland — which attempted to block his reappointment to his role earlier in 2017.
He has broken with the EU establishment which saved his position, however, by suggesting the bloc should abandon its policy of redistributing migrants throughout the continent through compulsory quotas — an issue which has led to a long-running conflict with conservative countries in Central Europe, including his own.
“Only member-states are able to tackle the migration crisis effectively. The EU’s role is to offer its full support in all possible ways,” he said in a statement issued ahead of an impending EU summit.
