As figures were released showing a sharp rise in right-wing violence in Germany, Germany’s labor ministry announced it has requested another half billion euros to spend on the integration of 100,000 refugees and migrants in 2016.

Germany’s Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs has requested another half a billion euros for the integration of refugees and migrants this year, a revelation that could stoke further social tensions; on Thursday Germany’s Ministry of the Interior released data showing a sharp rise in right-wing offenses in 2015.

The figures show the amount of right wing extremist offenses in Germany increased in 2015 by one third in comparison with 2014, and the number of right wing extremist violent offences increased by almost half.

In 2015 there were 13,846 right wing extremist offenses, up from 10,541 in 2014. The number of violent right wing extremist offenses increased even more sharply, from 496 in 2014 to 921 in 2015. In 2014 431 people were injured in such attacks, which rose to 691 in 2015. The majority of the violent attacks, 612, were motivated by xenophobia.

The numbers were released after a request by German Left Party politician Petra Pau, who said the real amount could be even higher.

“Experience has shown that the real numbers, beyond those registered by the federal and state police authorities, are twice as high,” Pau said, Die Zeit reported.
