In a recent commentary, Martin Sellner, a prominent figure associated with the Identitarian movement, articulated his vision for a political strategy he terms "Remigration." Sellner argues that this approach is essential for the future strength and unity of Europe. He asserts that both former U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin should not be viewed as adversaries to European interests.

Key Details

Sellner outlines three primary objectives of the "Remigration" strategy:

• Elimination of the "traitors class": Sellner identifies a group he describes as the "traitors class," which he claims consists of liberal politicians and thinkers. He holds them responsible for what he terms "population replacement" and the perceived weakening of European societies.
• Opposition to left-wing liberalism: He calls for a rejection of left-wing liberal ideologies, including universalism and human rights interventionism, which he believes contribute to the decline of traditional European values.
• Nonintervention in European affairs: Sellner emphasizes the importance of dealing with foreign powers in a manner that ensures nonintervention in European matters. He suggests that this approach will be effective due to the presence of "adults in the room," implying that leaders like Trump and Putin can be taken seriously by global powers such as the United States, China, and Russia.

Sellner expresses confidence that European patriots are prepared to support a political leadership that aligns with these ideals, contrasting this with their disdain for the current political leadership in Europe.

Background

The Identitarian movement, with which Sellner is associated, has gained notoriety for its nationalist and anti-immigration stances across Europe. The movement advocates for the preservation of European culture and identity, often through controversial means. Sellner"s commentary reflects a broader sentiment among certain right-wing factions that view liberal policies as detrimental to national integrity and sovereignty.

Sellner"s remarks come at a time when Europe is grappling with various challenges, including immigration, economic instability, and political polarization. The rise of populist movements across the continent has sparked debates about national identity and the role of immigration in shaping European societies.

What"s Next

As the political landscape in Europe continues to evolve, the implications of Sellner"s "Remigration" strategy could resonate with a segment of the population that feels disenfranchised by current leadership. The potential for increased support for nationalist movements may influence upcoming elections and policy decisions across European nations. Observers will be keen to see how this narrative develops and whether it gains traction among mainstream political parties.
