In the regional state of Saxony, the far-right party National Sozialistische Partei Deutschland's (NPD) has gained 10-25% of votes at the local government elections held on 13 June. Altogether, the NPD gained 53 seats, 18 of which were in the communal district Sächsische Schweiz, which is known for its extensive far-right structures. NPD ideology is the norm rather than the exception in the Sächsische Schweiz, and the connections between the far-right party and the prohibited neo-nazi group Skinheads Sächsische Schweiz are well documented. One NPD politician was caught with explosives in his shed and members of local anti-fascist and liberal citizens' groups are regularly threatened and attacked by neo-nazis.
