Germany considers entry ban on Austrian behind mass deportation plan

Interior ministry considering options against Martin Sellner after days of protests against AfD

German authorities are closely examining the possibility of an entry ban for the far-right Austrian whose masterplan for the deportation of immigrants is at the heart of a storm gripping Germany over the rightwing populist AfD.

Martin Sellner, the founder of the so-called identitarian movement, which preaches the superiority of European ethnic groups, could be banned from entering Germany if he is deemed to pose a threat to German democratic stability, according to members of the interior affairs committee of the Bundestag.
