  • June 27, 2017 - Munich, Bavaria, Germany - Ahead of the Bundestag elections in roughly three months on September 24th, a podium discussion was organized and aimed at young voters so they may have a chance to be closer to the candidates and discuss issues with them directly.  The event was organized as part of a cooperation between the Muenchen Volkshochschule (MVHS) and Bayerischer Rundfunk’s Puls.  A point of controversy was the invitation of the AfD’s Petr Bystron, who is now under Verfassungsschutz (secret service) monitoring due to right-radical ties and connections to the ultra-radical Identitaere Bewegung.  Furthermore, Bystron has been documented in the past with right-radicals, such as militant American Rick W. and violent neo-nazi Lukas Bals, with whom he intimidated opposition and journalists.    .A source has verified that the other candidates were informed of them sharing a stage with a known right-radical, however the other candidates all voiced opposition, but refused to cancel their appearances together for fear they would be the only ones to do so, giving an advantage to other candidates..The AfD party has had numerous controversies as of late, most stemming from associations and leanings with the far- and radical right.  Most recently, another AfD politician, Andre Poggenburg, was found as a participant in a leaked WhatsApp chat group saying such things as the neo-nazi slogan “Deutschland den Deutschen” (“Germany only for Germans”).  Further messages included “after the [AfD] seizing of power, all journalists should be investigated and sifted out” (“nach der Machtuebernahme alle Journalisten ueberpruefen und sieben”).  Poggenburg belongs to Bjoern Hoecke’s radical/nationalist/neo-nazi wing of the AfD..In March, Petr Bystron made the following statement, which, among other incidents, led to his monitoring by the Verfassungsschutz:.“Die Identitaere Bewegung ist eine Vorfeldorga

  • September 29, 2018 - Garmisch Partenkirchen, Bavaria, Germany - EDL founder TOMMY ROBINSON with Austrian right-extremist and head of the Identitaeren Movement MARTIN SELLNER and Pegida founder LUTZ BACHMANN.  Sellner is also associated with white supremacists in the United States and Canada. Adding themselves to the “who’s who” list of of several hundred right-extremists from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and other countries, Tommy Robinson, founder of the British EDL, Lutz Bachmann, grounder of Germany’s Pegida, and Martin Sellner of the Identitaere Bewegung were guests as the Compact Konferenz held in the international tourist town of Garmisch Partenkirchen in southern Bavaria.  The conferences are held by Juergen Elsaesser, founder of Compact magazine, a publication designed for right-extremists, conspiracy theorists, and right-wing sovereign citizens (Reichsbuerger).  The venue was the ironically-named Gasthof zum Rassen, which residents state has hosted numerous, unwanted far-right and right-extreme events in the village.  The city government is furthermore relatively quiet about such events, as stated by residents “they are afraid tourists will find out”.  Despite this, a spontaneous demonstration by residents took place. (Credit Image: © Sachelle Babbar/ZUMA Wire)
