Controversial Lenin statue erected in German city

A far-left party in Germany has erected a controversial statue of communist leader Vladimir Lenin.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media.

The tiny Marxist-Leninist Party of Germany (MLPD) installed the statue in front of its headquarters in the western city of Gelsenkirchen.

City authorities had attempted to stop the statue being installed and launched an online hashtag saying there was "no place for Lenin".

But courts blocked their appeals and the unveiling went ahead on Saturday.
