The Identitarian Movement apparently echoed Tarrant’s anger toward Muslim migrants, and is now at the center of international investigations as authorities try to piece together the elements that shaped Tarrant’s views. In New Zealand, police are looking into possible ties between Tarrant and a Ukranian-born man, Troy Dubovskiy, 54, who apparently killed himself March 27 during a standoff with authorities. Police say a search of Dubovskiy’s home near Christchurch uncovered firearms, ammunition and “violent extremist content.
Two European security officials said that Sellner’s network has links to the far-right Freedom Party in Austria and its German equivalent, the Alternative for Germany . One of the movement’s German leading figures, for instance, works for an AfD member of parliament. A spokesman for the office of Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz did not respond to questions about the February 2018 raid because of ongoing probes into it.
He uses scaremongering phrases such as “mass immigration” and “population replacement” — a reference to the title of a 2012 book by right-wing French polemicist Renaud Camus, “The Great Replacement.” In his book, Camus writes that Europe’s white majority may eventually be replaced by immigrants from North Africa and elsewhere.
For Jean-Yves Camus, a French scholar researching the European far right, it was important not to draw too many specific conclusions from Tarrant’s European travels. Sellner acknowledged that the United States was distinct from Europe, but he praised Trump for his “clear border control policy” and “antiglobalist agenda of national identity,” as well as his “national economic policy.”
