The number of protests organized by right wing political movements has increased and protests are now held nationwide.

2: In the political right wing map the new AfD party is gaining in popularity and has firmly positioned itself within the public forum. Arguing for reduced immigration, strict border controls and more deportations. Also causing controversy when AfD leader Petry announced that border police should be allowed to shoot at refugees.

8: Elections are coming up this March in 3 states and the effects of what happened in Cologne are rippling through.

The conservatives have reacted mainly by condemning the AfD and even by refusing to engage them in debates.

9: Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia have been declared safe countries for deportation, meaning that migrants from these countries can be deported faster:
