German Chancellor want to ban neo-Nazi party

The Germany chancellor, Gerhard Schröder, has repeated that he will explore "every possibility" to ban the neo-Nazi National Democratic party (NPD), which on Sunday plans to hold a "funeral march" in Dresden to commemorate the 35,000 Germans killed during the destruction of the city on 13-14 February 1945 by British and American warplanes. In an interview the Chancellor said "I want my government to use every possibility to go down the road of a ban". However, referring to a previous attempt to ban the party which was rejected by the courts, he added. "It must have a good chance of success. Another court defeat would only help the NPD".
