Accusation of hostility towards democracy: Munich luxury hotel throws out libertarian organization
The German Ludwig von Mises Institute will no longer be allowed to hold meetings at the Bayerischer Hof hotel in the future. The hotel stands "for the basic values of a free society". It therefore no longer considers the cooperation to be justifiable.
The Ludwig-von-Mises-Institut Deutschland, a libertarian organization, is no longer allowed to hold events at the Bayerischer Hof hotel in Munich. The hotel, which has hosted numerous high-profile guests and events, including the Munich Security Conference, has ended its collaboration with the institute due to concerns over its political views.
The institute, which was founded in 2012 and is named after Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises, has been criticized for promoting ideas that question democracy and aim to abolish the state. The hotel's decision comes after a report by the Münchner Abendzeitung newspaper highlighted the institute's ties to right-wing politicians, including those from the AfD party.
