Germany's far right

[PinkFinal]

A city in eastern Germany has declared a "Nazi emergency", saying it has a serious problem with the far right.

Dresden, the capital of Saxony, has long been viewed as a bastion of the far-right and is the birthplace of the anti-Islam Pegida movement.

Councillors in the city - a contender for the 2025 European Capital of Culture - have now approved a resolution saying more needs to be done to tackle the issue.

But opponents say it goes too far.

What is a 'Nazi emergency'?
"'Nazinotstand' means - similar to the climate emergency - that we have a serious problem. The open democratic society is threatened," local councillor Max Aschenbach, who tabled the motion, told the BBC.

Mr Aschenbach, from left-leaning satirical political party Die Partei, said he believed it was necessary to take action because politicians were not doing enough to "position themselves clearly" against the far-right.loo

Yep. We like the British version of fascism. It’s the the German or European version that we object to.

I've checked it out. Gorlitz is as just about as far right as you get in Germany.

This has seeped into football, too, although some teams have a long history of being associated with the far right. However, this season we have already seen a Chemnitz striker (Daniel Frahn) be sacked due to his association with the club's Nazi style hooligans.
