Angela Merkel on Saturday urged strong opposition from all sections of German society against the resurgence of far-right extremism.
“WE HAVE A DUTY TO STAND UP AGAINST EXTREMISTS”
A week before the 75th anniversary of the assassination on Adolf Hitler, she paid tribute to those who opposed the Hitler’s rule.
“They followed their conscience and thereby shaped a part of Germany’s history that otherwise would have been solely defined by the darkness of National Socialism,” Merkel said. “We, too, have a duty today to stand up against all those tendencies that want to destroy democracy,” she added.
