According to the French Prime Minister, Europe is stretched to its limits and shouldn’t take in any more migrants.

Europe is grappling with its worst refugee crisis since the Second World War with almost one million refugees expected to arrive by the end of the year.

During an interview with German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung, The French Prime Minister said: ‘We cannot accomodate any more refugees in Europe, that’s not possible’, adding that tighter external border controls would determine the fate of the EU.

‘If we don’t do that, the people will say “enough is enough.’

The comments were published only hours before German Chancellor Angela Merkel was scheduled to meet French President Francois Hollande in Paris.

Merkel was initially celebrated at home and abroad for her welcoming approach to the refugees, many of whom are fleeing conflict in the Middle East.#

But as the flow has continued the chancellor has come under increasing criticism.

Some conservatives say Merkel’s decision to open up Germany’s borders to Syrian refugees in September has spurred more migrants to come.

The refugee debate has become more politically charged after the deadly attacks in Paris that stoked fears ISIS militants could exploit the migrant crisis to send extremists to Europe.
