BERLIN, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) -- German Chancellor 1 Angela Merkel visited on Wednesday a violence-hit refugee home, vowing 2 that Germany would have no tolerance 3 for xenophobic attacks on asylum-seekers.
Far-right protesters booed the chancellor as she arrived at a refugee center in the eastern German town of Heidenau near Dresden.
Hundreds of far-right extremists had staged violent protests at the shelter last weekend, injuring dozens of police officers, according to media reports.
Merkel held talks on Wednesday with refugees, volunteers and security staff at the refugee home to get an impression of the local situation.
Merkel vows 4 no tolerance of anti-refugee violence
She strongly condemned 5 the violent demonstrations 6 against refugees, saying "there will be no tolerance for those who call into question the dignity of other people."
"Everyone facing political persecution 7 or fleeing civil war has the right to be treated fairly when seeking asylum," Merkel stressed.
Tensions regarding refugees are on the rise in Germany as the country is set to take in a record 800,000 asylum-seekers this year. A spate 8 of attacks on refugee accommodations by right-wing extremists have happened recently, including two reported just hours before Merkel's visit to Heidenau.
"We have a huge challenge ahead of us," Merkel noted 9, calling for closer cooperation between the German federal government, state governments and local authorities.
The chancellor also said that the German government was planning legislative 10 amendments 11 in order to better deal with the refugee issue.
On Wednesday, German President Joachim Gauck has visited a refugee home in Berlin and blasted a "dark Germany" behind the recent series of xenophobic attacks.
