Merkel, heckled on visit to refugees, says no to xenophobia
By Hans-Edzard Busemann HEIDENAU, Germany (Reuters) – Dozens of protesters shouted at Chancellor Angela Merkel and waved placards with the slogan “traitor” on Wednesday when she visited an eastern German town where anti-refugee protests erupted into violence at the weekend. Merkel, one of Germany’s most popular postwar chancellors, vowed Germany would not tolerate xenophobia and repeated that the weekend scuffles, in which 31 police officers were hurt, were “shameful and
