(Euronews) Far-right protesters have held a rally in Magdeburg, following Friday evening’s attack on a Christmas market which left five people dead and hundreds injured.
Police estimate around 1,000 protesters gathered in the city’s central square, calling for stronger controls on migration after German authorities identified the attacker as a doctor from Saudi Arabia.
Protesters carried so-called “homeland” flags and banners saying “remigration,” while chants such as “those who do not love Germany should leave Germany” and “we do not want asylum seekers’ homes” could also be heard.
According to local media, there were some minor scuffles with police.
