European leaders gathered in Brussels on Sunday for an informal meeting aimed at paving the way to a deal on the management of migration, amid an escalating crisis that threatens to unravel the bloc’s passport-free travel area and dissolve Germany’s governing coalition.
“This is not about the survival of a chancellor,” Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel said as he arrived for the meeting. “It’s about finding a solution, and I hope a common one, for a migration and asylum policy in Europe. We need that.”
