Right-Wing Activists Clash with Police Outside German Migrant Shelter 
----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Germany, right-wing protesters clashed with police over the weekend
during demonstrations against a newly opened migrant shelter in a small
town outside of Dresden. Pro-immigration activists staged a
counter-protest, holding signs that read "Refugees Welcome." The
demonstrations followed the interior minister's announcement that
Germany could receive as many as 800,000 asylum seekers this year, the
biggest influx since the Second World War.
