Austria’s chancellor Christian Kern: cut EU money to countries refusing refugees

Austria’s chancellor Christian Kern wants a major cut in EU subsidies for EU member states that refuse to accept refugees. "If countries continue to avoid solving the migration issue, or drop taxes at the cost of their neighbours, they shouldn't receive billions from Brussels in the future," Mr Kern told the German daily Die Welt. He made the statement just day before an EU leaders summit in Brussels, which is also going to deal with the migrant crisis. The measure would hit especially the V4 countries, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia.
