Sellner manages to override entry restriction

Court of administrative proceedings - Sellner manages to override entry restriction

Instead of this choice, a protest may be submitted to the Berlin-Brandenburg Superior Administrative Court.

The context of the situation revolves around Sellner, who claims to have spoken about mass emigration at a gathering of extreme-right individuals in a Potsdam villa during November 2023. His interpretation of this concept includes urging individuals with foreign origins, even those with German passports, to leave the nation. The news outlet "Correctiv" documented the meeting, which saw the presence of several AfD members, as well as CDU and Value Union affiliates.

The detainment order was imposed by the government of Brandenburg on Sellner after the encounter. He was to lose his German right to mobility for a period of three years due to concerns about public safety and security.
