Martin Sellner

Martin Michael Sellner (born 8 January 1989) is an Austrian far-right political activist, and leader of the Identitarian Movement of Austria, which he co-founded in 2012. He is considered to be a key figure in the Neue Rechte (New Right in German-speaking countries). Some also deem him to be part of the alt-right movement. In March 2018, he was denied entry to, and deported from, the United Kingdom. A year later, he was denied entry to the United States because of a connection to the Christchurch shooter. In March 2024, the city of Potsdam tried to ban Sellner from entering Germany for 3 years, because of his speech on "remigration" at the 2023 Potsdam far-right meeting; that ban was revoked by a German court in late May 2024. Sellner has also promoted the Great Replacement conspiracy theory.
