Seehofer gives Merkel time to strike EU migration deal
By EUobserver
German chancellor Angela Merkel was Sunday offered more time to agree a new EU migration policy by her interior minister, Horst Seehofer, who said he did not want Germany's government to fall. Seehofer wants police stationed at borders - against EU rules - turning back migrants arriving from other EU countries. Merkel plans a series of bilateral meetings with EU leaders ahead of next week's summit to find a solution.
