Overview

• German authorities at Munich Airport imposed exit bans on eight Identitären Bewegung members attempting to attend the 'Remigration Summit 2025' in Milan.
• The Munich Administrative Court upheld the bans, citing potential reputational harm to Germany from the group's participation in the event.
• The exit bans, valid until May 18, also restrict travel to Austria and Switzerland, requiring affected individuals to report daily to local police.
• Five of the barred individuals have filed urgent legal appeals to overturn the bans, while the summit continues under Italian police monitoring.
• The bans are part of Germany's broader strategy under the Passgesetz to limit right-wing extremist activities abroad, though such measures often face legal challenges.
