Federal Administrative Court Lifts Ban on German Right-Wing Magazine
Aug 14, 2024, 12:48 PM
A German court has temporarily lifted the ban on the right-wing publication, Compact Magazine. The ban, imposed by the German Interior Ministry led by Nancy Faeser, was initially enacted due to accusations of the magazine 'inciting hatred' and 'aggressively propagating the toppling of the political order.' The Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig ruled in favor of press freedom, leading to the suspension of the ban. This decision marks a significant setback for Faeser, who has been a proponent of stringent measures against publications deemed to threaten public order. The ruling follows a police raid on the magazine's offices and the home of its publisher, Jürgen Elsässer, last month.
