NPD - Nazi's win in German Elections

The German far-right party the NPD is contesting seats in two upcoming state elections. Mike Swanson looks at its chances of gaining power.

Germany's extreme right-wing National Democratic Party (NPD) is trying to muscle its way into two state parliaments where elections are due in a few days' time.

Police in Berlin have reported a growing number of attacks by rightists on rallies and information booths organized by their political rivals in the run up to the 17 September vote in the German capital.

"There has never been such an aggressive election campaign on the streets of Berlin since the end of the war," wrote Andreas Kopietz in the newspaper Berliner Zeitung.  Source: Expatica
