D: Thousands in demonstration against right-wing extremists Sellner

Several thousand people took to the streets in Germany against a planned reading by right-wing extremist Martin Sellner. According to police, around 2,500 people took part in the march last night called by the city of Marburg (Hesse) and the Network for Democracy and Against Right-Wing Extremism. A city spokeswoman spoke of more than 3,000 people.

According to police, an earlier demonstration drew about 1,000 people, and a third planned for later was canceled. According to the city, Sellner wanted to read from his book “Immigration.”

The event was to take place in private rooms and the city did not know the place and time in advance. The police announced late in the evening that the reading had taken place in Gladenbach. This is about 20 kilometers from Marburg. According to the police findings, about 50 people came to the reading.

Marburg's mayor, Thomas Spies (SPD), had previously written: “We clearly and categorically reject the fact that Martin Sellner in Marburg wants to spread theories about the expulsion of some of our residents.” The city considers Sellner's “human-hating” theories “a danger to society, to democracy and to the constitution.”
