"They are challenging our democratic state."

8,000 far-rightists and Nazis briefly took over the streets of Chenmitz, Germany in anti-immigrant protests over two days. The protests were sparked by the stabbing murder of a German man by an Iraqi and a Syrian.

Via The New York Times:

“They are challenging our democratic state in a way they have not done before,” said Barbara Ludwig, the mayor of Chemnitz, a Social Democrat.

"...slogans heard on the streets of Chemnitz this week — from “lying press” to “Germany for the Germans"...

"...some flashing Nazi salutes, the angry mob..."

I see the hand of Vladimir Putin here.
