German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has condemned a recent far-right meeting where plans to deport millions of people were allegedly discussed.
German media reports that politicians from the far-right AfD and neo-Nazis met in a lakeside villa, not far from Berlin.
Allegedly, there was talk of deporting people who do not have German origins, even if they are citizens.

Scholz said that no one in Germany should be discriminated against because of their origin.
Last November, about twenty people attended a secret meeting near Potsdam, outside Berlin, according to the research agency Korektiv.
Among them were high-ranking officials of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), including Roland Hartwig, a close associate of party president Alice Weidel.
There were neo-Nazis from all over Germany and Austria, as well as at least one member of the neo-Nazi group Generation Identities. (Generation Identity), according to the agency.
As they add, two representatives of the Christian Democratic Party (CDU) also attended the meeting.
Much of the discussion reportedly focused on so-called "remigration" - the deportation of people who are not of German ethnic origin, even if they are German citizens.
In principle, there were no objections to the plan, but only doubts about its feasibility, added from Korektiv.
AfD officially rejects the principle of remigration. However, Gerrit Haj, an AfD member of the German parliament, said she believed in the idea "for years".
This is why, as she said, the AfD no longer opposes dual citizenship, because it would make it easier for immigrants to be stripped of their German citizenship, because in that way they would still have another citizenship, on the basis of which they could be deported.
As confirmed by the party for the AFP agency, Hartvig attended the conference, but rejected claims that she had changed her view on migration.
"We will not allow anyone to distinguish 'we' in our country based on whether someone has an immigrant background or not," Chancellor Scholz wrote on Ix (formerly Twitter).
As he added, there is a possibility that the participants of the meeting will be invited to the intelligence agency for questioning.
"We can't just say we've learned the lessons of history, we have to show it."
The recently elected member of the AfD in the Bavarian parliament last year is brought because of alleged Nazi salutes.
This far-right party is currently second in terms of support, behind the CDU.
