Syrian refugees Rescued a German neo-Nazi leader after a car incident.
Dust settles on Belgium after the terrorist attacks that shook Brussels on Tuesday, he didn t take long for a chorus of politicians from right to start spouting anti-immigrant rhetoric and finger pointing new population of refugees from Europe but in the midst of rage, a different story emerged that took place there a week, but was particularly relevant as contrary to xenophobia.
Stefan Jagsch, a neo-Nazi right-wing politician in Germany, was seriously wounded on March 16 when he crashed his Jeep near Büdingen, a small town in a marshy valley northeast of Frankfurt about 16 refugees identified in the media that the Syrians were passing by the accident site in two vans Several of them pulled the Jagsch aged 29 of his vehicle, delivered first aid, called an ambulance and waited until he arrived, a spokesman for the local fire department said.
Jagsch belongs to the National Democratic Party NDP, and is its leading candidate in local elections this month a spokesman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel slammed the NDP as an anti-democratic, xenophobic, anti-Semitic, anti-constitutional After the incident, Jean Christoph Fiedler, regional leader, offered rare praise for the NDP asylum seekers, saying they probably played a very good, a human act.
The NDP was founded in 1964 as successor to the openly Nazi Reich Party aligned Udo Voigt, who holds the seat of the party in the Parliament of Germany, Adolf Hitler once described in an interview as a great man of critics state party, five prime ministers of state, renewed efforts to place an outright ban of the NPD, and accused of threatening the democratic order German Federal Constitutional Court is reviewing the matter.
The history of Germany is linked stoking hatred, goodwill, and much confusion In the midst of the refugee crisis.
Right, anti-immigrant movements have gained ground in recent months, with the leaders by capitalizing on fears that swept Europe in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris on 13 November, which left 130 dead, and now the latest attack in Brussels the groups used the attacks as a platform to promote the idea that refugees entering Europe is a Trojan for the militants who formed the Islamic State group in Syria or Iraq .
It is quite naive to believe that no Islamist terrorists among the many who have been allowed to enter largely uncontrolled, a statement on the NDP website calls the terrorist attacks of Islamists in Europe have highlighted the danger of mass immigration brings to internal security.
But the NDP remains a marginal group, and did not see benefit from the same small increase in popularity as its more moderate cousin, the AFD has seen in the recent regional elections They did, however win more than 10 percent of the vote in the Hesse region where Jagsch crashed his vehicle.
Jagsch is still in hospital, but how, in the circumstances, according to Fiedler Jagsch written in German on Facebook he could not confirm if his rescuers were refugees, I can not comment on it because I was not aware at the time of recovery, he said that I can not confirm that he was a Syrian refugee who pulled me out of the vehicle, nor belie for this reason, I give no opinion on the question.
The Guardian reported, however, that Syrian refugees told firefighters that Jagsch was fully conscious during the rescue.
