Germany's refugee crisis - Has the mood turned ugly? | Quadriga
- 9 years ago
As Germany’s refugee crisis continues, politicians and helpers are coming under an increasing threat from the militant right. In Cologne last weekend, a women standing in the city’s mayoral election was badly wounded in a knife attack.
Profiting from people’s fears, the anti-migrant Pegida movement is once again gaining in force. This week, Pegida has been marking the anniversary of its first march, one year ago.
So, who’s driving the debate - the politicians, or a small radical minority?
