EU leaders are planning to expel Greece from Schengen
Terrified member states are preparing to jettison the struggling nation in a bid to save their own skins from the four million people expected into Europe this year alone.
If Greece, whose already fragile economy has been overwhelmed by the refugee influx, was expelled from the free movement zone it would allow the rest of the continent to fortify its northern land border with fences and troops, cutting off the route used by millions of migrants headed for Germany and Scandinavia.
Such a move would have a devastating effect on the impoverished Mediterranean nation, which would then be forced to house millions of asylum seekers itself, and would almost certainly herald its exit from the European Union.
The desperate plan has been hatched by Belgium, Austria and Sweden, who have all accused Greece of not doing enough to secure its sea border with neighbouring Turkey....
...The prospect of Greece being booted out of the free movement zone is just the latest in a series of calamities to hit the EU which have fuelled a belief that the 28-nation bloc is about to implode
