Overview
- In a notarized statement, former right‑wing influencer Erik Ahrens affirms that the November 2023 Potsdam meeting discussed a plan to force the emigration of people based on ethnic origin, including those with German citizenship.
- Ahrens says Martin Sellner presented the concept, which aimed to create legal and social pressure leading to departures and which he describes as amounting to ethnic cleansing or expulsion.
- He reports proposals for a North African “Musterstadt” to receive millions of people and an expert commission, attributed to organizer Gernot Mörig, to prepare legal, logistical and ethical implementation.
- Ahrens names AfD figures as participants, alleging Ulrich Siegmund vowed to implement the plan in Saxony‑Anhalt if in power and that Gerrit Huy suggested stripping dual nationals of German citizenship, while jurist Ulrich Vosgerau also attended.
- Several attendees previously filed sworn statements denying plans affecting citizens, creating a direct conflict that could carry perjury risk, and Correctiv notes courts have deemed such a concept unconstitutional.
