DISINFO: Europe will be a German colony

SUMMARY

The next step after Martin Schulz’s earlier statement about a federal European constitution would be to subordinate smaller countries to Germany or France. Especially the countries of the eastern bloc will be affected; Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary … There is obviously an ambition to punish these countries for representing a different position. Schulz would punish them for representing a different opinion on immigration from Germany or Europe.

RESPONSE

No evidence given. The statement about the federalism of Europe was made by one politician at his party's conference, and there was no mention of immigration or punishing other member states.
