Controls at the Brenner Pass on the Italy-Austria border are "inevitable", Norbert Hofer of Austria's far-right and anti-immigrant Freedom Party and winner of the first round of presidential elections said Tuesday.
"I am certainly not pleased, but we have no choice," Hofer said.
"The external borders of the Schengen area need to be
secured," he added.
"Only 20% of people arriving in Austria are real refugees
and they have already passed through safe countries," Hofer
said.
