German police mobilise 'hundreds' for border controls

Hundreds of German police officers have been mobilised to carry out border checks, a spokesman for the federal force told AFP on Sunday, after Berlin reinstated passport controls with its neighbouring countries.

"We are mobilising hundreds" of officers, the spokesman said. Berlin announced Sunday it was reimposing checks at the borders, particularly those with Austria, after a record influx of migrants.

--
Hungary's hardline Prime Minister Viktor Orban welcomed Berlin's decision Sunday to reinstate border controls as a "necessary" move to protect European values in the face of a record migrant influx.

"We have great understanding for Germany's decision and we voice our full solidarity," he told Bild newspaper. "We understand that this decision was necessary in order to defend Germany's and Europe's values."
