The former head of the right-wing extremist Identitarian movement in Austria, Martin Sellner, is no longer allowed to enter Germany. The Brandenburg state capital Potsdam confirmed this on Tuesday that she had received an entry ban for “an EU citizen”. According to data from dpa it is Sellner. The “Süddeutsche Zeitung” reported this earlier.
Only on Saturday did Swiss police prevent a planned meeting of right-wing extremists and temporarily arrest Sellner. As police announced on Sunday, Sellner would speak at the event near the border with Germany on Saturday. “To ensure public safety and avoid confrontations with people on the other side,” he was arrested and expelled from the canton.
In January, Sellner’s travel plans caused a stir. At the time, there were initial media reports that German security authorities were considering an entry ban for Sellner. Ultimately he was allowed to come in for a visit.
Sellner is a leading figure in the right-wing extremist ‘identitarian movement’ in German-speaking countries. According to research by the Correctiv Network, he was a speaker at the secret meeting of AfD members and right-wing extremists in Potsdam in November 2023, where mass deportations from Germany were said to have been discussed. According to Correctiv, during the meeting at Villa Adlon, Sellner presented plans for large-scale ‘remigration’, that is, the deportation or displacement of millions of immigrants, including Germans with a migration background.
Reports about the meeting in Potsdam led to large demonstrations against right-wing extremism throughout Germany. Hundreds of thousands of people took part.
