The city of Chemnitz became a flashpoint of [[Germany|German]] patriotic and anti-mass migration sentiment in late August 2018. Hundreds of protesters gathered in the eastern German city of Chemnitz on Monday, August 27, in a second day of demonstrations after a 35-year-old local carpenter, a German of Cuban extraction, was stabbed to death on Sunday, August 26. The fatal stabbing took place during Chemnitz's local festival period. The protestors blamed Chancellor [[Angela Merkel]] for giving unrestricted access to Muslim migrants, who had now murdered one of their own residents.
