"Rather than let East German politics once again deform the whole country, Germany must have the confidence to use the full weight of the western Rechtsstaat – the law-based state – to make sure that we never again have to see what we saw last weekend in Chemnitz. It really is the only language these people understand."

Thomas Mertens hat gesagt…: It depends. Some people in my filter bubble want to get rid of saxony and to rebuild the german wall, but this time 5 meter higher.

But this is not mainstream, but many people in western germany are appalled by the szenes in Chemnitz/Dresden/Freital

I do not think it is an ethnonationalist argument, more political culture. Many people from eastern germany grew up in an autocracy, are still calling for a strong state with a strong hand.
