Right-wing extremist magazine "Compact" provisionally re-admitted

After the temporary lifting of the ban on the far-right magazine "Compact", its editor-in-chief Jürgen Elsässer wants to resume work quickly. "We can now continue working in peace for at least two to three years," he said on Platform X. He hopes that the confiscated technology and computers will be returned soon. Elsässer and two fellow campaigners celebrated the court decision as a triumph in a video on X. "Compact is alive", said Elsässer in the video.

The Federal Administrative Court has temporarily lifted the ban on the far-right magazine in summary proceedings. This was announced by the court in Leipzig. A final decision will be made in the main proceedings.

Elsässer spoke of the "greatest triumph in post-war history". "David wins against Goliath, Compact wins over Faeser, democracy wins over dictatorship, and the people win over the regime," he said on X. The video also called for the resignation of Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD).
