‘Migrant’ looters ransack shops and attack cops and paramedics during worst riots in Stuttgart’s history

Chancellor Angela Merkel’s decision to allow hundreds of thousands of refugees into the country in 2015 was welcomed by the EU and humanitarian organisations, but has since proved to be an unpopular move for many voters.

While many refugees have integrated successfully into German society, Merkel later admitted she would turn back the clock on the policy following a historic defeat in the Berlin regional elections in 2016.

There are fears that the riots will embolden the rise of rightwing party Alternative for Germany.

The weekend’s riots in Stuttgart came in a week of unrest in Germany as the country struggles with a possible second wave of the coronavirus.

The country’s R rate – the rate of infection –  has nearly tripled in just two days to reach 2.88.

And more unrest was seen after an attempt to quarantine one tower block in the city of Goettingen ended with violence on Saturday.

Seven-hundred people were locked down inside the building on Thursday after two residents tested positive.
