I don't see the EU doing that even if he was convicted of it, let alone based on a opportune rumour. I have worked in brussels and the bureaucracy that form the legislation that only the commission can propose is protective of long-term European interests and steers clear of ideological disputes. The EU foreign offices is known among colleagues as the most conservative in it's changes, so I'd say it is a pipe dream at best from my experience.EU's main interest is in combating terrorism and reduce flood of refugees and as long as the Federal government accomplices that it leaves opponents of such an agreement without an alternative.
The Somali envoy let by a woman no less reitrated her support for the government just yesterday, so as with must things, your argument don't conform to reality.
