German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has condemned an alleged far-right meeting at which plans to deport millions of people was discussed.
The Correctiv investigative outlet reported that last November around 20 people attended the secret meeting near Potsdam, outside Berlin.
Neo-Nazis from across Germany and Austria, as well as a member of the white supremacist Generation Identity group attended, the outlet said.
Much discussion allegedly focused on so-called “remigration” - the removal of people with non-German ethnic backgrounds, even if they are citizens of Germany.
The party confirmed to the AFP news agency that Mr Hartwig had attended the conference, but denied it would change its policy on migration.
In a warning to attendees of the meeting, he added that participants could be investigated by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, the domestic intelligence agency.

I thought the Nazi party was legally banned in Germany. How can Germans publicly identify themselves as “neo-nazis?” Is this legally distinct?
Thanks, your obvious question prompted me to take another look at that issue. My first thought was “Yes, but it’s not quite there because…actually, why?” Since I couldn’t come to a good answer anymore (because by now the AFD really seems just as bad as the NPD always was), I did some digging through the constitution-equivalent, the Grundgesetz.
So, why is the AFD still not banned? I read through two or three news articles and it seems to boil down to a couple good arguments:
I would be so happy to be rid of the AFD, but unfortunately it seems to not be a quick process :c
Uhm… question: what’s the plan for the massive brain drain and labour shortages in various industries?
“But they took our jobs!”
“You didn’t want them, or were under-qualified”
“…But they took our jobs!”
Didn’t it work just awesome in UK after BREXIT? Now they want more of the same.
PS: meanwhile, AI will replace the bottom of the barrel workers, and even more will get laid off.
On a brighter note, we’re not that far off from the dinner bell signaling it’s time to eat the rich.
Buddy that bell has been ringing hard ever since Reagan and Thatcher poisoned the world with neoliberalism.
