Juncker thanks the police for work at the G20 summit

Jean-Claude Juncker criticizes the arrest of the police in the riots around the G20 conference in Hamburg 'unfair and incomprehensible.

'It deserves recognition, not critical,' the Luxembourgian said in a statement Monday. 'I want to thank the Hamburg and federal police for their work during the G20 summit. The inhabitants of Hamburg who helped Sunday to clean up the city also deserve our fullest respect and appreciation: Hamburg at its best! '
