This is the best summary I could come up with:
The demonstrations follow days of protests in villages, towns and cities across Germany, where more than a million people from a broad cross-section of society turned out over the past two weeks despite the cold weather and a rail strike.
On Thursday, about 500 protesters gathered in Vienna’s city centre at the headquarters of one of Austria’s oldest postwar far-right organisations, Landsmannschaft, which hosted an event with Maximilian Krah, the AfD’s leading candidate for the European elections, and the far-right German publicist Götz Kubitschek, who is a close confidant of Sellner’s.
The Austrian Nobel prize-winning author Elfriede Jelinek was expected to be present in Vienna and wrote a message that the German-Austrian actor Mavie Hörbiger was to read to the demonstrators.
Central to the meeting were discussions around a “masterplan” for a mass deportation, including the practicalities of putting such a plan into action were the AfD to come to power.
Sellner and Krah are regular guests at Kubitschek’s Institute for State Policy thinktank in Schnellroda, Saxony-Anhalt, which is under observation by German authorities on suspicion of far-right extremism.
Kubitschek is viewed as a figurehead of the so-called Neuen Rechten or New Right in Germany, advising far-right groups, and is seen as a political mentor to the identitarian movement.
