GERMANY-FAR RIGHT

A rampage in the German town of Hanau when a gunman who espoused racial genocide killed 9 people with foreign background was the third deadly far-right attack in a matter of months. German leaders openly acknowledge there is a problem, but so far identifying a solution has been elusive. Many see the far-right Alternative for Germany party as a significant part of the problem, espousing ideas that are seized upon by people prone to violence. But with national elections coming next year, politicians have yet to figure out how to confront the party while also curbing its appeal to disgruntled voters. By David Rising.
