Being in Germany during the recent elections was a revelation of sorts for a group of journalists as they saw democracy at its best in a country known for its historical autocracy. JANE RITIKOS reports. 

IT WAS a chilly evening in Munich and we were walking to a restaurant at a square in the city when we heard a commotion. Curious, we went to find out what it was all about. What we saw was an election campaign by the far-right National Democratic Party (NPD), a neo-Nazi party.
