Town battles Neo-Nazi

Full story

Crowds are protesting against Neo-Nazis who take over the town on a regular basis, and the memorial to the dead of the first and the second world wars has become a focal point.


It all started ten years ago when a far-right organisation that supported Nazi ideology gathered at the memorial for Remembrance Day.


To prevent a repeat, the mayor of the town designated the memorial as private property. However, this only lit the fuse of the conflict and the annual gatherings have now become monthly protests.
