Neo-Nazi becomes council leader in German village
None
Administrators in a German village have unanimously elected a member of a neo-Nazi party as council head as he was the only person interested in the job, prompting an outcry from politicians who demanded the vote be annulled.
The seven-member council of Waldsiedlung, a small community near Frankfurt, voted for Stefan Jagsch of the National Democratic Party (NDP) to become council head.
The administrators who voted for Jagsch at a meeting last week included members of Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU), a Turkish-German representative of the center-left Social Democrats (SPD) and members of the liberal Free Democrats (FDP).
