AfD politicians met with right-wing extremist groups in Switzerland. An AfD MP made particularly radical suggestions.
At a meeting in Switzerland in mid-December, prominent AfD politicians and representatives of right-wing extremist groups discussed radical ideas on migration policy. As “Correctiv” reports, the event was attended by, among others, the Bundestag member Roger Beckamp and the Brandenburg state parliament member Lena Kotré.
Those present also included members of the “Blood & Honor” movement, which is banned in Germany, the right-wing extremist Swiss group “Junge Tat” as well as representatives of the Junge Alternative Baden-Württemberg and the AfD Lörrach. According to “Correctiv”, a journalist gained access to the meeting, similar to the much discussed meeting in Potsdam with the right-wing extremist Martin Sellner.
The concept of “remigration” is said to have been at the center of the discussions in a restaurant in Kloten near Zurich. Kotré is said to have explained her ideas about this in detail.
She spoke out in favor of revoking German citizenship from naturalized Germans who have committed crimes. They were deceived in believing that they were adhering to the free democratic basic order. “This means that under the Citizenship Act you can simply take away their citizenship again.”
As a further means, Kotré suggested privatizing the “deportation industry” and using DNA samples to determine the origins of people. She replied that “remigration” should also be used to suppress unpleasant political opinions. “Remigration” is the key if majorities become increasingly Islamic.
In another part of the event, Kotré gave insights into the AfD’s internal considerations regarding a possible impending party ban. She explained that this issue is currently very busy for the Federal Executive Board. In her opinion, it is not necessary for the party to “artificially distance itself” from content.
While she refused to trivialize the Holocaust or make positive references to Hitler, she added that “everything below that” must be permissible. By this she meant, for example, discussions about national identity and about “what you want to keep away from your own people.”
The event was organized by Manuel Corchia, a leading member of the right-wing extremist Swiss group “Junge Tat”. Weapons had previously been found during a house search. Although the meeting was publicly announced, participants were transported from a secret meeting point to the venue under tight security. There, journalists from the media collective “Recherche Nord” covertly took photos that prove the participation of “Blood & Honor” members.
There are also personal connections between “Junger Tat” and AfD: A man who, according to “Correctiv”, organized the lock to the secret meeting point for the meeting with Beckamp and Kotré in the parking lot in Lörrach, was a candidate for the AfD Lörrach in the 2024 local elections Since the Corona period, he has been part of the “Junge Tat” Corchia leadership squad in several demonstrations and two disruptive actions of the “Junge Tat” in Switzerland involved.
He was one of a group of six “Junge Tat” activists who received criminal orders in Zurich in September 2024. The German was sentenced to 120 daily rates of 60 euros on probation and a fine of 1,500 euros for breach of the peace, trespassing, damage to property, disruption of religious and artistic freedom and racial discrimination.
He also has to contribute to compensation for a Zurich parish. According to the investigation, he and others disrupted a Pride service there and caused considerable damage with the concrete base of a cross that he had brought with him that read “No Pride Month.” An appeal was lodged against the penalty order. According to “Correctiv,” Beckamp said at the meeting that he doesn’t think homophobic actions “make sense.” He, Kotré and “Junge Tat” did not respond to queries from “Correctiv”.
