STUTTGART/BERLIN (Reuters) - Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere called on Monday for the government to restrict the number of refugees coming to Germany, adding pressure on Chancellor Angela Merkel who has refused to support an upper limit.

The conservative leader's popularity has slumped to its lowest level in nearly four years, reflecting growing public concern in one of Europe's richest country over the influx of hundreds of thousands of refugees.
