Demo against right-wing agitation: Hunsrück shows the flag for diversity!

On February 2, 2024, over 4,000 people gathered in Simmern for a large demonstration against right-wing tendencies. This was one of the most important rallies in the Hunsrück in recent years. The demonstration was part of a nationwide protest in which millions of people took a stand against the increasing influence of right-wing ideologies on society. The reason for the widespread protests was the publication of research by Correctiv that uncovered a so-called secret plan by right-wing groups in Germany.

The research uncovered a secret meeting of high-ranking members of the Alternative for Germany (AfD), neo-Nazis, representatives of the Values ​​Union and entrepreneurs in a country hotel near Potsdam. At this meeting, which took place on November 25th, it was discussed how “remigration” could be implemented in Germany in order to expel people based on racist criteria, as on correction.org is reported in detail.

Secret meeting of the right

The meeting included around two dozen participants, including members of the AfD, the Identitarian Movement, fraternities, lawyers and entrepreneurs. The meeting was organized by Gernot Mörig, a former dentist from the right-wing extremist scene, and Hans-Christian Limmer, an investor in the catering sector. In order to preserve the secret nature of the event, communication took place exclusively through letters. Participants with influential positions within the AfD, such as Roland Hartwig (Alice Weidel's speaker), were also present.

A central topic of the meeting was the presentation of a “master plan” for remigration by Martin Sellner, a leading figure in the Identitarian movement. Sellner emphasized that remigration is a long-term project to preserve Germany's ethnocultural identity. During the discussion it became clear that the AfD politicians supported Sellner's ideas without fundamentally criticizing the concepts. Gernot Mörig has also expressed plans to form a committee of experts to develop the plan.

Political strategies and insights

The discussion also considered setting up an agency for right-wing influencers in order to specifically address and reach young people. These incidents show the close connections between the AfD and right-wing extremist ideologues. According to the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, the AfD is classified as right-wing extremist in some federal states, while over 400,000 people have signed a petition calling for the party to be banned.

The AfD itself claims to be a democratic force, while internal discussions support ethnic ideals. Historical parallels to National Socialist ideas are also suggested in this context. Mörig and the other participants at the meeting plan how the idea of ​​remigration can be translated into a political strategy, which underlines the worrying developments in Germany's political spectrum, as well as the Rhine newspaper reported.
