"Just before he confirmed <https://bsky.app/profile/charliearchy.bsky.social/post/3mmyumhyxyc2v?ref=theredoubt.net> his attendance at a neo-fascist summit <https://www.theredoubt.net/afd-republican-remigration-summit/> in Portugal, Gregory Bovino, the former U.S. Border Patrol commander who was once the face of President Donald Trump's mass deportations, posted <https://archive.is/NVc3P?ref=theredoubt.net> a photo on X showing himself giving a salute familiar to anyone who has heard of Nazi Germany....
It would be easier to dismiss this Hitlerian greeting as an awkward gesture — as some did when X's owner, Elon Musk, gave it at Trump's 2025 inauguration — were it not selected and shared by a man on his way to a racial-purity conference. The "Remigration Summit 2026," so called, was held May 30 at the Salmanha Residence hotel <https://www.google.com/maps?q=Salmanha+Residence,+Coimbra+Region+PT,+R.+da+Salmanha+18,+3090-650+Figueira+da+Foz,+Portugal&ftid=0xd22481c48995555:0x5d6480958a14a8d&entry=gps&shh=CAE&lucs=,94297699,94231188,94280568,47071704,94218641,94282134,100799877,94286869&g_ep=CAISEjI2LjIyLjIuOTIxMTAxNzU3MBgAIIgnKkksOTQyOTc2OTksOTQyMzExODgsOTQyODA1NjgsNDcwNzE3MDQsOTQyMTg2NDEsOTQyODIxMzQsMTAwNzk5ODc3LDk0Mjg2ODY5QgJBVA%3D%3D&skid=77bd08ba-bab1-43fd-8edb-0e633ad575d8&g_st=ic&ref=theredoubt.net> just south of Porto, Portugal, and its organizers were not subtle. "Weimar conditions require Weimar solutions," argues <https://archive.is/3Pi2J?ref=theredoubt.net> Afonso Gonçalves, chief organizer of the event. He's the founder of the far-right group Reconquista, so named for the mass expulsion of Muslims from the Iberian Peninsula. That's who Bovino was photographed <https://bsky.app/profile/charliearchy.bsky.social/post/3mn2wmxlfsk26?ref=theredoubt.net> standing next to after he landed in Europe. Martin Sellner, an extremist from Austria, is best known for pushing the "great replacement" conspiracy theory — that Jewish elites are seeking to exterminate the white race via mass migration — that has motivated mass shooters from Pennsylvania <https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/mass-shooter-found-guilty-of-murdering-11-people-at-tree-of-life-synagogue-in-2018?ref=theredoubt.net> to New Zealand <https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-53861456?ref=theredoubt.net>.
