EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker called for an extraordinary summit ahead of next week’s formal EU summit to help Angela Merkel deal with her hawkish interior minister. However, a draft conclusion text for the summit was already trashed by the new Italian government who said no to keeping migrants out of Germany.
