Right-wing extremist Sellner triumphs in fight against Austria's entry ban.
The ban imposed on Sellner was deemed unlawful in a short examination. Potsdam failed to sufficiently demonstrate a substantial risk to community safety and order. Additionally, it was not proven that no less severe option than the entry ban existed. Those displeased with this ruling can lodge an appeal at the Berlin-Brandenburg Administrative Court.
In March, Potsdam issued an order banning Sellner from staying in or entering Germany. This order claimed Sellner's right to roam within the EU would be forfeited. Sellner challenged this decision in the Potsdam Administrative Court.
The Identitarian Movement in the German-speaking area's leading figure, Sellner, was sued by Potsdam.

At this event, it's rumored discussions took place about forcibly removing people with migrant heritage from Germany. Correctiv network was responsible for this investigation.
