The Saxon AfD member of parliament Maximilian Krah is calling on his party to distance itself from the Austrian right-wing extremist Martin Sellner and his "remigration concept". The judges at the Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig described Sellner's concept as "contrary to human dignity" and "incompatible with the human rights core of the principle of democracy".
"This concept envisages expatriation as a means of creating an ethnic German nation, even against the backdrop of future elections and referendums," reads the recently published reasons for the ruling to lift the ban on the far-right magazine "Compact". The concept provides for a legally devalued status for Germans with a migration background.
The term "remigration" has long been the subject of debate. When right-wing extremists use the term remigration, they usually mean that a large number of people of foreign origin should leave the country - even under duress.
