German Federal border police took right-wing “Generation Identity” activist Max Märkl into custody toady at Munich Airport to prevent him from traveling to the “Remigration Summit” taking place Saturday in Porto, Portugal, and issued a travel ban to prevent the young man from traveling to Portugal. The Gateway Pundit spoke to Max exclusively.
“They were waiting at the gate for me when the plane started boarding, pulled me out of the line, took my documents and took me into custody at the airport police station, where I was issued a citation banning me from traveling to Portugal until midnight Saturday and threatening to fine me €500 every time I failed to report to my local police station twice daily until then,” Max said.

Max Märkl is one of the national spokesmen of Generation Identity Germany, a right-wing youth movement originally founded in France 2014, which seeks to preserve the cultural identity of Europe. He was scheduled to speak at the Remigration Summit, whose speaker list includes Stefano L. Forte of the New York Young Republicans, US influencer Joey Mannarino, Generation Identity Austria head Martin Sellner, Dutch activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek, German state parliamentarian Lena Kotré, UK Grooming Gang survivor Sammy Woodhouse and Belgian activist Dries van Langenhove, who was found guilty of “hate speech” this week for drawing a connection between migration and crime, even though the court admits the connection exists.
Last year, eight Generation Identity activists were also prevented from traveling to the 2025 Remigration Summit in Milano, Italy, from Munich airport, but four went via car anyway and were never charged with a crime, presumably meaning prosecutors know the case would never stand up in court.
This time, the Federal police were better prepared, threatening to fine Max if he defies the ban and confiscating his mobile phone right away to prevent him from filming the arrest like last year (as The Gateway Pundit reported).
The Federal Police citation, which Gateway Pundit has read, justifies the travel ban on a free German citizen who has committed no crime by calling the concept of “Remigration” (deportation of illegal migrants) a violation of the German constitution.

Recent German chancellors Olaf Scholz and Friedrich Merz have also called for “mass deportations” when they are campaigning for office, but then quickly forget their campaign promises once elected.
The White House social media team also recently posted in favor of the concept of “Remigration” and warned against “Replacement Migration” – both concepts that the German Federal Police apparently deem illegal.
Under President Trump, replacement migration will never be the standard. The United States objects to the Global Compact on Migration and UN efforts to facilitate replacement migration. https://t.co/KCuMjoi32L pic.twitter.com/2ASW0NqGIg

On Jan. 1, 2026, the White House social media team also posted an image of President Donald Trump with a “USA” cap and the word “Remigration”.
The Federal Police citation also claims the Generation Identity concept of “ethnopluralism” amounts to White Supremacy and a wish to ethnically cleanse non-Germans from the country. Generation Identity members argue that “ethnopluralism” actually means “pluralism” and a wish to preserve a country’s diverse ethnic heritage.

“I was just arrested at Munich Airport and prevented from leaving the country,” Max posted on X.
“My fundamental right to freedom of movement has been violated because I allegedly threaten the reputation of the Federal Republic of Germany. Right before the Remigration Summit, they’re panicking. They’ve already lost every single debate and the culture war. Every European can see the devastating consequences of the population replacement with his own eyes. So they’re playing their final card: raw repression. They’re trying to jail Dries Van Langenhove, and now they’ve stopped me from leaving my own country. They want to scare millions of patriots into submission before they vote for change. But there’s one thing they forgot in their desperation: repression backfires.”
At the “Remigration Summit”, Generation Identity Austria head Martin Sellner will announce the founding of an Institute for Remigration this Saturday, which aims to “connect politicians, researchers, and journalists, produce dossiers, graphics, and reports, and organize Europe-wide campaigns” with the goal of “the preservation of ethnocultural continuity” in Europe. The IFR calls itself “the first lobby for Europeans in Europe.”
