Hungary and Poland, who had launched an 11th-hour attack on the already-agreed position on migration, would not relent in their opposition. In a sign of the times, Italy’s leader Giorgia Meloni tried to strike a deal with the two leaders on the sidelines of the summit. But it was not enough to unblock the impasse.“I am never disappointed by those who defend their national interests,” Meloni said as she left, papering over a potential rift with her right-wing allies. The dispute was mostly symbolic. The end–of-summit text itself would have had almost no real impact on what was truly angering Hungary and Poland: A fresh deal to overhaul how Europe welcomes and relocates migrants. But the failure of the European Council to finalize a joint statement sent a strong signal about the rising emo...
