Germany: Far-right protesters clash with counter-demonstrators in Kandel

Far-right activists came to blows with counter-demonstrators in Kandel on Saturday, during an anti-immigration protest.

They held placards with slogans such as "Freedom instead of Islam" and "Merkel must go," condemning the recent murder of a young German girl by an Afghan asylum seeker in their town and demanding the resignation of Chancellor Angela Merkel.

At the same time, a large counter-protest took place nearby with people chanting "Nazis out! Together against racism!" Despite a heavy police presence, clashes erupted between the two groups.
