- Compact makers: Can work for two to three years
After the provisional lifting of the ban on the far-right magazine "Compact", its editor-in-chief Jürgen Elsässer plans to resume operations quickly. "We can now work in peace for at least two to three years," he said on the X platform. He hopes for a swift return of the seized equipment and computers. Elsässer and two allies celebrated the court decision in a video on X as a triumph. "Compact lives," Elsässer said in it.
The Federal Administrative Court has provisionally lifted the ban on the far-right magazine "Compact" in an expedited procedure. The court announced this in Leipzig. A final decision will be made in the main proceedings.
Elsässer called it "the greatest triumph in post-war history". "David defeats Goliath, Compact defeats Faeser, democracy defeats dictatorship, and the people defeat the regime," he said on X. The video also called for the resignation of Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD).
Elsässer's triumphant declaration on X highlighted the potential for a prolonged period of operation, stating, "We can now work in peace for at least two to three years, thanks to the court's decision on Extremism." The editorial team's celebratory video further emphasized the victory, asserting, "This is a clear sign that Extremism will not prevail, and Compact will continue to exist."
