GERMAN Chancellor Olaf Scholz today slammed alleged plans by members of far-right groups who supposedly met recently to plot the deportation of millions of immigrants.
The alleged plan was published in an article by the investigative journalists’ group Correctiv on Wednesday.
Chancellor Scholz wrote on the X social media site: “Anyone who opposes our free democratic order” is a case for Germany’s domestic intelligence office and the judiciary, adding that learning the lessons from Germany’s history should not just have been lip service.
According to the report by Correctiv, members of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) and the extremist Identitarian Movement (IM) participated in the meeting in November.
At the meeting, prominent IM member, Austrian citizen Martin Sellner, presented his “remigration” vision for the deportation of immigrants, he confirmed to the German press agency DPA.
Other participants included members of the AfD, such as Roland Hartwig, an adviser to party leader Alice Weidel, Correctiv said.
Polling now puts it in second place nationally with about 20 per cent support, far above the 10.3 per cent it won during the last federal election in 2021.
