'Reverse Migration' Plans in Germany
In Germany, intelligence units have identified approximately 15,000 violent far-right extremists. Undersecretary of the Interior Ministry Hans Jörg Englike painted a worrying picture of uncontrolled speech and overstepping boundaries.
The new generation of neo-Nazis no longer appears with shaved heads and combat boots, but in stylish clothes. This image change has contributed to the success of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which has risen to second place in polls. The party's leader, Björn Höcke, says they are waging a 'culture war' to turn Europe into a 'fortress' by deporting migrants.
In January 2024, the news site 'Correctiv' revealed a secret meeting in Potsdam attended by AfD members and influential identitarian Martin Sellner. At the meeting, a plan was discussed that envisaged forcing 'parallel societies' composed of non-Europeans, Arabs, Africans and Muslims to leave the country. The disclosure led to unprecedented mass protests.
The 'Great Replacement' Fallacy in Belgium
In Belgium's Flemish region, the far-right Vlaams Belang party is on the rise. MP Filip Dewinter claims Brussels is the capital of the 'great replacement'. However, data analyst Karim Douïeb debunks this narrative with numbers, confirming that the majority of foreigners in Brussels are European and Moroccans come in fourth place.
Political scientist Benjamin Biard warns that the 'great replacement' ideology is a direct trigger for violence and terrorism, as seen in the actions of figures like Anders Breivik and Brenton Tarrant, who carried out the Christchurch attack.
Violent Structures and Normalization in France
France is the scene of half of Europe's far-right terrorist acts and harbors nearly 3,000 violent militants. Journalist Sébastien Bourdon uncovered cells on Telegram, which included members of security forces and the military, planning to burn migrant centers and secretly dispose of bodies.
This structure is intertwined with the revival of the 'Union Defense Group' led by Marc de Cacqueray-Valménier and the student union 'Cocarde' linked to Marine Le Pen's National Rally party. Activist Safia Ait Arabi notes that with the emergence of Éric Zemmour, a 'normalization' process occurred with the far right under Le Pen.
The threat is becoming increasingly concrete: the home of the mayor of Saint-Brevin was set on fire, MP Thomas Porte received death threats from 'Committee 732'. In Lyon, the leader of the 'Lyon Populaire' movement, Eliot Bertin, glorifies violence by distinguishing between Europeans and non-Europeans.
