Former Prime Minister of Bavaria Edmund Stoiber said that Angela Merkel should “change her position on refugees ” and cut the flow of refugees into the country “until the end of March maximum,” the German media writes.

Former head of the party “Christian Social Union” (CSU) and former Prime Minister of Bavaria Edmund Stoiber delivered an ultimatum to German Chancellor Angela Merkel and demanded to reduce the number of refugees into the country to the end of March . He announced his demands in an interview with Suededeutsche Zeitung.

“Angela Merkel must change her position, otherwise Germany and Europe will have catastrophic consequences”, he said.

Stoiber called on Merkel to finally close a border with Austria to stop refugees flowing into the country. According to him, it is “the only way” to persuade other European countries to deal with the refugee crisis by joint efforts.

Merkel`s sole efforts in this matter led to a “serious break up” in Europe, Stoiber said. According to him, CSU party will do everything to make its “sister party Christian Democratic Union” (HDZ) change its political course, even if Merkel opposes it.

German media have concludes that the pressure on Merkel has intensified, including among her colleagues in the ruling faction. Earlier, the current Bavarian Prime Minister Horst Seehofer delivered a similar ultimatum to the Federal Chancellor. If “the certain legal relations” are not restored on the German border within next two weeks, he will go to court.
