Germany bans Austrian extremist who attended infamous extreme right Alternative for Germany (AfD) meeting


Martin Michael Sellner (born 8 January 1989) is an Austrian far-right political activist, and leader of the Identitarian Movement of Austria. He is also involved in an important role within the Neue Rechte in Germany.

German authorities have imposed an entry ban on Austrian extremist Martin Sellner. The leader of the far-right Identitäre Bewegung Österreich was in the news at the beginning of this year because he attended a meeting of the radical right party AfD, where mass deportations were discussed.

Undercover journalists revealed that high-ranking AfD politicians, neo-Nazis and entrepreneurs had discussed a plan to deport millions of people from Germany based on racist criteria. It does not matter to the group whether those people have a German passport or not.

After the revelation, Sellner admitted that he promoted his book on 'remigration' at the meeting. This means the targeted deportation of migrants who are "not adapted or who weigh heavily on society culturally, economically and criminally".

Sellner also spreads the conspiracy theory about repopulation, which claims that non-white migrants are deliberately brought to Europe to replace the white population.



Banned for three years

The extremist will not be allowed to enter Germany for the next three years. Last weekend he was supposed to give a speech at a far-right meeting in the Swiss region of Aargau, but he was expelled from the region by officers and taken to Zurich. In February he was also banned from the Berlin film festival Berlinale.

Following the revelations surrounding the extremist AfD meeting, large demonstrations were held in Germany against far-right ideas.

The Identitarian movement



The Identitarian movement or Identitarianism is a pan-European, ethno-nationalist, far-right political ideology asserting the right of European ethnic groups and white peoples to Western culture and territories claimed to belong exclusively to them. Originating in France as Les Identitaires ("The Identitarians"), with its youth wing Generation Identity (GI), the movement expanded to other European countries during the early 21st century. Its ideology was formulated from the 1960s onward by essayists such as Alain de Benoist, Dominique Venner, Guillaume Faye and Renaud Camus, who are considered the main ideological sources of the movement.

Identitarians promote concepts such as pan-European nationalism, localism, ethnopluralism, remigration, or the Great Replacement, and they are generally opposed to globalisation, multiculturalism, Islamization and extra-European immigration. Influenced by New Right metapolitics, they do not seek direct electoral results, but rather to provoke long-term social transformations and eventually achieve cultural hegemony and popular adherence to their ideas.

Some Identitarians explicitly espouse ideas of xenophobia and racialism, but most limit their public statements to more docile language. Strongly opposed to cultural mixing, they promote the preservation of homogeneous ethno-cultural entities, generally to the exclusion of extra-European migrants and descendants of immigrants. In 2019, the Identitarian Movement was classified by the German Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution as right-wing extremist.

The movement is most notable in Europe, and although rooted in Western Europe, it has spread more rapidly to the eastern part of the continent through conscious efforts of the likes of Faye. It also has adherents among white nationalists in North America, Australia, and New Zealand. The United States–based Southern Poverty Law Center considers many of these organisations to be hate groups.
