Germany’s president has warned that the country has “reached the limit” of the number of migrants it can take in.
Frank-Walter Steinmeier said that the fact a third of all migrants who reached the EU come to Germany means that the country has “like Italy, reached the limit of what it can bear”.
Talking to the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera on Wednesday, Mr Steinmeier said that he “took seriously the calls for help from local government” and said that “stronger controls and surveillance on Europe’s external borders” were necessary.
