Austrian right-wing extremist Martin Sellner is now taking legal action against his travel ban in Germany. The Potsdam Administrative Court has received a corresponding urgent request. However, there was no urgency, it was said on Tuesday.
According to the spokesperson, the response periods take two weeks. As reported, the city of Potsdam issued a notice last week banning Sellner from residing in or entering Germany. In concrete terms, this means that the federal police can from now on refuse him access at the border, and that access can also have criminal consequences.
Ban “absurd”
The Austrian has now submitted an urgent application against his travel ban and is calling on people to donate money to him on the X platform. According to him, the ban is “absurd” and he would now comment and quote passages.
Here are tweets from Sellner about his travel ban.
Court: “Not urgent”
However, according to the court, the urgent request is not urgent. The response period is two weeks. Sellner is a leading figure in the right-wing extremist ‘identitarian movement’ in German-speaking countries.
According to research by the Correctiv network, he was one of the speakers at the secret meeting of AfD members and right-wing extremists in Potsdam in November 2023. At that time, the mass expulsion of people with a migrant background from Germany would have led to discussion.
