“A mayoral candidate who was stabbed Saturday in Cologne, Germany — allegedly for supporting the resettlement of refugees in the city — won the election Sunday amid rising tensions over refugee policies in Germany, which will welcome up to 1.5 million people this year. Henriette Reker won with 53 percent of the vote as she was recovering from the attack, which took place at a campaign event. A 44-year-old man and former member of a now-banned neo-Nazi organization stabbed her in the neck, saying, ‘It’s wrong what’s happening here. I’m freeing you from such follies.’ He also expressed fears that ‘foreigners would take jobs’ and that Sharia would be imposed in the country.”
