Um, it's not been a secret. It's been a much bigger-than-usual issue in politics and the press (although it's somewhat cyclical...right, left, right, left). Never heard of Le Pen, Pim Fortuyn, or Haider, for instance?
Even though Haider is the chancellor, my same anti-racist friends in Hamburg, Amsterdam, Berlin are still kickin it with the same scene, same attitudes... so i don't agree. Maybe anti-muslim in France. Thats all I've noticed. Germans are very anti-racist except in small towns in the east. Check your anti-Fa websites.
