Markus Beisicht
Revision as of 13:30, 24 February 2015 by Hilary Aked (talk | contribs)
Markus Beisicht was described in 2007 by Der Spiegel as, along with Manfred Rouhs, one of the 'party chiefs' of Pro NRW, a far-right populist political grouping which emerged from Pro Köln as did the anti-Islam Pro Bürgerbewegung network. Its activities centrally involved opposition to the building of mosques.[1].
Hope Not Hate calls Beisicht, a 'fascist activist' and lawyer.[2]
2009 conference
Pro NRW was due to host an 'anti-Islamisation conference' in Cologne on 8-10 May 2009[3] at which Beisicht was due to speak alongside Filip Dewinter, Lars Hedegaard, Paul Belien and others.[4] Both Robert Spencer[5] and Pamela Geller pulled out of the conference.[6]
