Merkel condemns 'hunt' against foreigners
Chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday condemned far-right protesters for seeking to "hunt down" foreigners after the killing of a German man allegedly by a foreigner.
The far-right movement PEGIDA called for demonstrations for a second straight day after a gathering of around 800 people in the ex-communist city of Chemnitz degenerated into chaos, forcing police to call in reinforcements.
Several national media outlets, including the Bild tabloid, reported that some demonstrators shouted "We are the people" and "Get lost" at those they thought appeared to be migrants.
Freelance journalist Johannes Grunert, who reports frequently on the far-right scene, told Spiegel Online he witnessed some protesters using bottles to attack foreign-looking people.
