  "Halle is in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, which has an election in September. The far-right anti-immigrant Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), which is leading the polls with about 42%, has seized on the row." That is the important part.

  Oh man this is perfect. Nobody in Germany would allow me to practice my German because they all grew up speaking English. 90% of Germans speak English basically perfectly. (Getting propositioned in German by a hooker. I say three words and she replies “Oh, honey we can do this in English”) I can wait to go there, I’d be free to speak my terrible German and they’d just have to suffer through it because they asked for (demanded) it.
