The report of a meeting of members of the far-right German AfD, supporters and known right-wing extremists in a hotel in Potsdam, where the deportation of people with a migrant background was allegedly discussed, has caused a lot of political fuss. fabric in Germany. Now there are personnel consequences in the immediate vicinity of AfD leader Alice Weidel.
The 44-year-old is now separating from her speaker Roland Hartwig. The successes were “by mutual agreement,” a party spokesman said after a meeting of the Federal Council of Governors in Berlin on Monday evening.
The 69-year-old former Bundestag member Hartwig took part in the meeting in November, a party spokesperson confirmed after corresponding research by the media company ‘Correctiv’ became known. During the meeting, the former head of the right-wing extremist Identitarian Movement in Austria, Martin Sellner, said he was talking about “remigration”.
When right-wing extremists use the term, they usually mean that large numbers of people of foreign origin are forced to leave the country – even under duress. According to these previous AfD statements, Hartwig did not know before the meeting that Sellner would be present, even though he had been announced in the invitation.
Identitarian movement is on the incompatibility list
The Identitarian Movement is on the AfD’s incompatibility list, with membership excluded. The announcement of the network meeting had previously led to the German-speaking Association (VDS) resigning. Board member Silke Schröder resigned. With her resignation, Schröder had “avoided an expulsion from the club at next Friday’s board meeting,” said Walter Krämer, chairman of the Dortmund club. She has also canceled her membership.
