Publisher Götz Kubitschek is considered one of the pioneers of the New Right. The institute he led was considered right-wing extremist. Kubitschek has already founded a new company.
The “Institute for State Policy” in Saxony-Anhalt, which the Office for the Protection of the Constitution classified as definitely right-wing extremist, has been dissolved. “The Institute for State Policy no longer exists,” wrote board member Götz Kubitschek in an article in the company’s own magazine “Sezession”. “The association is dissolved, all members have resigned, the accounts have been closed, the tasks have been completed or redistributed.” “Cicero” and the “Tageszeitung” (taz) reported first.
The “Institute for State Policy” based in Schnellroda (Saxony-Anhalt) was classified by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution in April last year as a confirmed right-wing extremist effort. The Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Saxony-Anhalt classified the institute as definitely right-wing extremist in 2019. The institute was considered an important source of ideological ideas for the New Right. According to the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, it occupied a strategically important role in the New Right network.
Such an association no longer has any purpose if it has finally lost its non-profit status, wrote Kubitschek. The magazine “Secession” will now be run by Erik Lehnert in terms of content and finances. Kubitschek headed the associated “Association for State Politics” together with Lehnert. According to the association register of the Stendal district court, the dissolution of the association was decided in February and March of this year. In his contribution, Kubitschek announced the founding of a new company that would also run academies and hold conferences.
The Brandenburg Office for the Protection of the Constitution writes in its most recent report that it is characteristic of the AfD Brandenburg that leading members actively strive to network with the right-wing extremist spectrum and see themselves as part of a movement that includes other right-wing extremist organizations or structures such as the ” Institute for State Policy (IfS). AfD parliamentary group leader Hans-Christoph Berndt prefers to seek proximity to right-wing extremist actors such as the IfS. Berndt is the top candidate for the state elections in Brandenburg.
