#1 A question only the NYT would have to ask.

#2 For perspective:
The author of this article works for the German mainstream press whose definition of neo-Nazis includes the likes of Daniel Pipes and Ezra Levant.

A few weeks ago, a young man was stabbed to death at a city festival in Chemnitz, a city in eastern Germany; afterward two asylum seekers were arrested in connection to the attack.

All of the asylum seekers who were (per the authorities) involved in the stabbing murder should have been deported years ago. Their respective names, countries of origin and ages are unknown.

There was no legal basis for the Merkel government to let these people enter Germany in the first place.

Similar demonstrations broke out in Köthen, a town of 30,000 inhabitants in the eastern German state of Saxony-Anhalt.

That happened after a German resident of Koethen was beaten and kicked in the head by Afghans and subsequently 'died of heart failure.'

Demonstrations are not diseases that 'break out.'

People had the right and the moral duty to demonstrate against this outrage.

Why Is Eastern Germany So Far Right?

Wrong question.

Merkel turned (West) Germany's traditional center right big tent party into a party of the extreme left.

The tectonic shifts in German politics are the consequences of Merkel's realignment.

Three states of East Germany btw are currently ruled by coalitions including the Communist Party of East Germany.

Saxony is the only East German state where the Communist Party hasn't held power at the state level since 1990.

It is the anti-Western totalitarian leftist component of East German politics that has been wreaking havoc on Germany's Western Democratic republican institutions.

#3 Cause you still push the lie that the Nazis were far righters rather than the National Socialist Workers Party. Just another branding of the socialist Left.

#4 Far right tends to be marxism with failed PR.

#6 Because they got a lengthy, up close and personal look at the Left.
