Overview
- Steffen Kotré and Lena Kotré invited Austrian activist Martin Sellner to speak on January 22 in Luckenwalde on “Remigration – Theory and Practice.”
- Party chiefs Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla, along with Brandenburg leader René Springer, said after talks with Steffen Kotré they assume the event will not take place.
- The AfD federal board had formally warned members last July against inviting Sellner to party events.
- Germany’s Federal Administrative Court recently ruled that Sellner’s ‘remigration’ concept is unconstitutional.
- Sellner leads the Identitarian Movement, which is on the AfD’s incompatibility list, while the Brandenburg branch has previously resisted federal guidance on him.
