Lesvos. Greece. Far-right activist Rebcca Sommer ist on Lesvos at the moment. Here is some information about her. On her YouTube channel Rebecca Sommer uploaded a video at September 11, which was recorded at September 9. In the description of the video Rebecca Sommer says: “Since 2 months I am on the island of Lesvos, the gateway to Europe for illegal migration.” Sommer also used words like the “asylum and migration industry” and “migration flood” in the video description. Among the far-right narrative in the description of the video are also parts like: “But the real reason for my being here (on Lesvos) is the following: I came in solidarity with the people of the island. And because I want to save my own country. Because this is where everything starts, among other things, in the matter of asylum & migration and Europe. For me, the islanders of Lesvos became Hellenic heroes when the whole island as well as the neighboring island of Chios rose up in protest at the beginning of the year, young and old, left and right, olive growers or business owners, and prevented the construction of further giant reception camps. Like here in Germany, decided from above, without the “free, prior and informed consent” of the population.” Sommer refers here to the wave of fascist blockades and attacks against migrants and aid workers on Lesvos earlier this year. Sommer continues her far-right rhetoric with a far-right classic: Reversed victimhood. She doesn’t speak about the live-ammo that was used against migrants by police and soldiers at the Evros border, but says: „Erdogan redirected the masses and sent an “Alhamdullilah Migration Army”, it was like war on Evros. All of us were stuck in the news and were stunned by the violence of the “refugees”.“ On her Facebook Profile she also marked some politicians of the fascist AFD parties among her “favourites”.
