Right wing extremists and Germany...

Right wing extremism still remains in Germany, Neo-Nazi youths in Germany shouted "Sieg Heil" on Thursday which was the 68th anniversary of the 'Night of Broken Glass'.
Further the number of crimes committed with right wing motivations are raising in Germany, this is feeding the discussions if Germany is not tough enough on Right wing extremism. Further the NDP sided with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad after he questioned the Holocaust. This combined with the German history concerning right wing political parties cause great concern in German population. The number of right wing related crimes has risen by 20% in Germany, further the questioning of the Holocaust seems to have become more and more mainstream. These factors have let to the debate in Germany if the right wing should not be put under stricter regulations. To prevent the right wing from gaining any more power with the German youth.
What do you think Germany's policy concerning the right wing should be?
One thing has to be remembered, that if the right wing is regulated that would technically infringe upon certain rights, like the right for free expression, the right of political freedom etc.
