Berlin - Arab Today
German Chancellor Angela Merkel urged citizens to shun those with "hate in their hearts," as the anti-migrant PEGIDA movement geared up for a first-anniversary rally later Monday.
"The chancellor has already reacted to such demonstrations in her 2015 New Year's speech, and I would repeat it here as it is unfortunately still valid: 'Don't follow those who have hate in their hearts," said Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert.
