It’s November 25, 2023, in a hotel not far from PotsdamIn Germanythe 35 year old Austrian Martin Sellnerleading figure of New Right he was born in Identity Movementa far-right organization that was disbanded in France and whose symbols were banned in Austria for inciting hatred, takes the floor. I am there to listen to him in this closed-door meeting entrepreneursmembers of the German upper class, neo-Nazis and politicians from the German far-right party Alternative for Germany to discuss a plan for deport up to 2 million people from the country. The meeting, which was supposed to remain secret, was documented in an investigation by the investigative journalism collective Corrective.
In his speech, Sellner laid out a plan to expel from Germany and deport to an unspecified area of North Africa, thus implementing the so-called “remigration”three categories of people: asylum seekersimmigrants with residency permit And”unassimilated citizens”, i.e. second and third generation Germans considered not integrated. The expulsion of refugees and illegal migrants is a programmatic point of Alternative für Deutschland (AfD). MPs like Mattia Helferich they obsessively insist on the concept of “remigration”, publishing propaganda posters on social media, from the vague neo-Nazi aestheticgenerated with artificial intelligence and drawing up summaries on the benefits of mass deportations, come on savings on the welfare state to the decrease of real estate prices due to population reduction. However, unlike in the past, for the first time exponents of AfD have endorsed a plan that would also involve the deprivation of civil rights for millions of German citizens, children of previous waves of immigration.
Second Correctivethe deputy Gerrit Huy would have responded to Sellner’s proposal by declaring that it would be necessary to attract one trap immigrants with German citizenship, offering them a second passport so that it is possible revoke the German one. Roland Hartwigright arm of the leader Alice Weidelhe would instead have expressed appreciation for Sellner, whose book he would be reading with pleasure. “We will send foreigners back to their home countries. Millions of times. This is not a secret plan. It’s a promise. For greater safety. For greater justice. For the preservation of our identity. For Germany,” the AfD MP declared, confirming these intentions Rene Springer after the investigation was released.
In recent times, the fantasies of ethnic purity of Germany cultivated by AfD are revealing the darkest face of the party which since March 2021 has been monitored by secret services interior like “suspicious case” Of threat to the democratic order. Some members of the party’s youth wing, such as Tomasz Froelichtwelfth on the list of candidates for the European elections, they hoped for the expulsion from Germany even of German citizens opposed to the policies of the AfD.
The same dialogue with Sellner, however, clashes with the front positions of the party which in theory would have included the Identitarian Movement in a list of incompatibility. But the list of collaborations with young identitarians is long and does not embarrass the AfD leaders at all. Last December, for example, Massimiliano Armleading candidate in the European elections, he was invited to a conference of Austrian identitarians in Viennathen officially missed due to illness. Krah, a pro-Russian who flirts with racist conspiracy theories such as ethnic replacement, has ideas in every way similar to Sellner. In a manifesto published last summer by a far-right publishing house, he quantified at 25 million, of which 15 million German citizens, people with a migratory background incompatible with the idea of ”ethnic status” German. As a member of the European grouping of Identity and Democracythe same as LeagueKrah has international ties: he was visited by the Speaker of the Chamber Lorenzo Fontanafrom Trump’s former strategist Steve Bannon and in the Trumpian club of young republicans of New York, together with the Northern League member Susanna Ceccardi. Within Alternative für Deutschland, Krah is part of the same faction as the leader in Thuringia Björn Höcke which, according to the ruling of a court, can legally be defined as “fascist” because of his statements. Among these, the declared intent to forcibly deport millions of people, not only immigrants, but also Germans dissidents with the project of mass remigration.
The scoop of Corrective comes in a phase of great rise of the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) which is currently the second party in the polls with the 23% of the votes. The more the party’s negotiating strength grows, the more the fear spreads throughout the country that thesanitary cord”, the taboo of an alliance with the radical right. In this regard, it is significant that the meeting in the hotel was also attended by two members of the Cdu belonging to the current Union of Valuesin the odor of splitting and transformation into a party.
Precisely the veto placed by the Christian Democrats is currently the biggest obstacle to Salvini’s objective of a right united with the Europeans. The voices of the secret meeting seem aware of the patience needed for changes: there is talk of long-term strategies to evolve the cultural climate in the country, to finance campaigns for influence younger generations I am Tick tock and to delegitimize, as trump in the United States, the outcome of the elections. The revelations caused a huge outcry in Germany, reopening the debate on dissolution by AfD law.
