The violence came ahead of a potential flashpoint on Monday when the first 500 refugees out of a total of 750 are due to arrive in the small eastern village of Sumte that has just 102 residents. A local neo-Nazi councillor there is rubbing his hands with delight at the propaganda victory bureaucrats in Berlin appear to have handed him. The weekend also saw huge rifts appear between Mrs. Merkel's CDU party and her sister CSU party in Bavaria which is demanding a closure of Germany's frontier with Austria to any more migrants. The violence of the weekend will only increase unease among her southern allies. In Meerane in the eastern state of Saxony more than 100 right wingers hurled fireworks at asylum seekers and police as they attempted on Sunday to prevent refugees moving into local accommodation. In Magdeburg on Sunday morning a mob of 30 people, some carrying baseball bats, chased three Syrians and beat them. Police moved in to protect the men and one neo-Nazi tried to club him to the ground before he was subdued with pepper spray. The mob victims aged 26 and 35 all needed hospital treatment for cuts and bruises. In Wismar in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern - Angela Merkel's home state - on Saturday< evening two Syrians aged 31 and 33 were attacked by baseball-bat wielding thugs outside a refugee centre. They shouted the Nazi greeting 'Sieg Heil' - salute to victory - before laying into both men before fleeing.

In Freital - a crucible of trouble in recent weeks where right-wingers even tried to assassinate a left-wing politician with a car bomb because of his support for a local refugee home - there was another firebomb attack against an apartment building housing eight migrants. The bomb exploded against the bedroom window of a resident who was wounded with shrapnel in the face. Against this backdrop of violence and intimidation the ruling coalition failed at crunch talks on Sunday to resolve major differences. Merkel has called for emergency talks The spokesman for Chancellor Angela Merkel, Steffen Seibert, said after two rounds of weekend negotiations among party leaders that meetings would continue this week. Merkel called the emergency talks after her Bavarian ally, Horst Seehofer of the CSU, threatened her with unspecified consequences if she did not take action to limit the number of newcomers arriving into Germany. While most Germans initially backed Merkel's open-doors policy for those fleeing war and persecution, a growing backlash has piled pressure on the chancellor and exposed rifts within her conservative alliance.
