Germany will be bound to curb a migration flow in the country after Bavaria’s threat to take the government to court for failing to handle the massive refugee crisis, Bavaria’s Prime Minister Horst Seehofer said Saturday.

Bavaria Threatens to Take German Government to Court Over Refugee Crisis
BERLIN (Sputnik) — On Friday, authorities in the southern German state of Bavaria slammed Chancellor Angela Merkel for "not doing enough to address the crisis on the southern German border."

Bavaria is the entry point for hundreds of thousands of economic migrants and refugees from Africa and the Middle East that have come to Germany since the start of the year.

"The Berlin government will be obliged, despite all the criticism against us, to take measures to restrict migration. Therefore, I am calm," Seehofer said at the migration and refugee congress of the Christian Social Union in Bavaria broadcast by the German Phoenix channel.

Over 200,000 refugees arrived in Bavaria in September, which depleted resources of the state for receiving migrants, according to Bavarian authorities.
