Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is today meeting leaders from France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Malta and Cyprus to discuss the future of the EU.

The left-winger hopes to gain support for an anti-austerity push, a direct challenge to Berlin’s controversial demand for increased belt-tightening.

The meeting comes just days ahead of a major EU summit in Bratislava, to be attended by officials from every member state except the UK.

A German MEP said he was concerned the southern countries could form a “coalition of redistributors” and threaten Europe’s financial stability.

Markus Ferber said Europe needed to stick together following June’s historic Brexit vote.

He said: “After Britain’s departure, the ‘Club Med’ will have a blocking minority that can prevent all kinds of laws in Brussels that it does not like.”
