BERLIN, Aug. 14 (Xinhua) -- German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday reacted with dismay to weekend far-right violence and racism in the U.S.
The event stood "in complete contrast to everything which the chancellor and the entire (German) Federal government are working towards" Wholesale Adidas NMD Red , Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert told reporters in Berlin.
"Those were absolutely repulsive scenes which were witnessed during this far-right march," he added.

Trump came under attack Wholesale Adidas Superstar Black , including within his own Republican party, for only making a curt statement against hatred and fanaticism "from many sides" in response to the Charlottesville incident.

Laschet said that former Republican presidents such as Ronald Reagan had taken a clear stance against racism and that he hoped that the current office holder would do the same.
The far-right rally was organized to oppose the removal of statues of Confederate leaders who fought in the U.S. civil war, amongst others to defend the widespread practice of black slavery in Southern states.
According to Seibert Wholesale Adidas Superstar Shoes , Merkel felt deep regret for the death of a young woman who had joined in demonstrations against the controversial march.
