Violence against migrants is a growing issue in Germany. In 2017, refugees were targeted in 1,713 criminal acts, according to the advocacy group Pro Asyl and the Berlin-based Amadeu Antonio Foundation. Migrants on the other hand ganged together and sexually assaulted hundreds of women on New Year and plant bombs in concerts etc. The politicians couldn't solve the flood of refugees at their doorsteps.
The region of Saxony, where Chemnitz is located, is a stronghold for far-right party, the Alternative for Deutschland, and has long struggled with neo-Nazi aggression.
