Austrian far-right activist Sellner opens “Institute for Remigration” in Germany
Martin Sellner has set up an “Institute for Remigration” in Germany. The Greens and die Linke are calling on the CDU/CSU-SPD government to ban the institute.
Austrian far-right activist Martin Sellner has launched an "Institute for Remigration" in Germany, with the objective of maximizing the return of individuals deemed non-assimilated. The Greens and die Linke are urging the CDU/CSU-SPD government to prohibit the institute, citing its potential violation of human dignity enshrined in the German constitution.
The institute's genesis can be traced back to a secretive meeting in Potsdam in 2023, where Sellner convened with far-right activists, politicians, and business figures, including CDU members and AfD MPs. This gathering, exposed by German news outlet CORRECTIV, discussed the deportation of certain groups, such as asylum seekers and foreigners with residence permits, as well as "non-assimilated" German citizens.
Sellner has now unveiled a "100-day manifesto" intended for an AfD-led government in Saxony-Anhalt, following the party's recent electoral success in the state. The Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig and Bavaria have both ruled the Identitarian Movement, of which Sellner is a part, to be unconstitutional, deeming it contrary to human dignity.
These rulings have prompted calls from Green and die Linke Bundestag members for a government ban on the institute, arguing that it undermines democratic foundations.
