GRANADA, Spain — A gathering of EU leaders in Granada was on the brink of collapse on Friday as Hungary and Poland threatened to block a final statement summing up countries’ views on migration and Ukraine’s future accession to the European Union.On his way into the summit, Poland’s Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki outlined his firm opposition to any statement supportive of a recently agreed European migration deal — effectively killing off chances for consensus around a final text.“There is no possibility of distributing illegal immigrants without the consent of individual member states,” said the Law and Justice party leader, who faces a parliamentary election on October 15. “Poland puts a strong veto to such a position.”Hungary’s Viktor Orbán was even more incendiary, saying that Poland and Hungary had been “pushed” to sign off on an EU migration reform plan earlier this week but would not endorse any compromise position in Granada. “After this, there is no chan...
