Findings on “MetaPol Verlag & Medien”
The German Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) has classified the publishing house “MetaPol Verlag & Medien” as a suspected right-wing extremist organization. This emerged from the answer of the federal government to a minor question from the parliamentary group Die Linke.
The publishing house, which is based in the Bavarian town of Schnelldorf, publishes books by authors who are assigned to the so-called “New Right”. The term “New Right” refers to a heterogeneous group of right-wing extremist and anti-democratic actors who often reject the term “nationalism” and instead use concepts such as “ethnopluralism” or “identity”.
According to the BfV, “MetaPol Verlag & Medien” is close to the “Identitarian Movement”, which is also classified as right-wing extremist. The publishing house also publishes books by authors who are active in the “Alternative for Germany” (AfD).
The BfV emphasizes that the classification as a suspected right-wing extremist organization does not mean that the publishing house is banned or that its publications are illegal. However, the classification is intended to draw attention to the right-wing extremist backgrounds of the publishing house and its authors.
The federal government’s response also provides information on the publishing house’s funding. According to this, “MetaPol Verlag & Medien” received funding from the “Thule-Seminar” in the amount of 6,000 euros in 2020. The “Thule-Seminar” is a far-right organization that is also classified as suspected right-wing extremist by the BfV.
The classification of “MetaPol Verlag & Medien” as a suspected right-wing extremist organization is part of the BfV’s ongoing efforts to combat right-wing extremism in Germany. The BfV warns against the activities of the publishing house and advises against the distribution of its publications.
