Tarnished German image on World Cup eve | csmonitor.com: "Brandenburg and other states of the former East Germany make up just 20 percent of the country's population, but half of the right-wing activity, according to a report released last week by the Interior Ministry. The lack of economic opportunities for young people in the depressed regions has something to do with the problem, say sociologists. But so do crumbling family structures, a missing tradition of multiculturalism, and westward migration.
'The people who leave are the smart ones, the ones who are good in school,' says Mr. Reinecke, the columnist. 'What remains is a negative social selection. The people who stay are not mobile, are not smart. Frustration is their reason for violence.'"
This is one more sample of what not being able to fulfil the basic needs can turn a section of the society towards.
France is having similar problems hidden under the garb of religion. Why cant the political powers acknowledge the underlying social problems.
