Beppe Grillo savaged Brussels and his own country for failing to do enough to stop terrorists coming into the continent and carrying out atrocities. The leader of the populist Five Star Movement said in a blog post: “The migratory situation is out of control.”

He added: “Our country is becoming a place where terrorists come and go and we are not able to recognise and report them and they can wander all over Europe undisturbed thanks to Schengen. “Those who have the right to asylum should stay in Italy, all the others should be repatriated at once, starting from today. Now is the time to react and protect ourselves.” Grillo also called for a European database of suspects to be shared among EU member States and said: "Now is the time to react and protect ourselves.”

GETTY The populist leader also condemned his own country for not stopping terrorists

His condemnation of the failing superstate comes after he ripped into former Italian leader Matteo Renzi, labelling him a “liar”. He said: "You left Italy in a mess: moral, economic and institutional. "You have split the country in two on the subject of the constitution, proposing a reform that nobody told you to do because you were not elected.

"You left an economic disaster with an absolute record of poverty and an amazing increase in taxes. Not even Mario Monti had squeezed us so much." The freedom of movement of people across the continent, known as the Schengen Zone, has come under fierce criticism following devastating Berlin terror attack in which 12 people lost their lives to Islamic State terrorist Anis Amri. Ukip MEP Mike Hookem ripped into the EU’s “core principle” and questioned its stance on free movement.
