Last month, German Interior Minister Nancy Fraeser declared that a prominent conservative magazine was illegal. She sent police to launch early morning raids on four homes and offices. The magazine’s domain name was seized. They even packed up the magazine’s office furniture and hauled it away.
Nancy Fraeser’s office even threatened to arrest protesters for publicly displaying the letter C.
However, a court ruled that Compact magazine could resume printing while the judges further examined the issue. The panel of judges said the magazine does not appear to have illegal content. Essentially, it is legal again until further notice.
Compact Editor in Chief Jürgen Elsässer says the next issue will be printed immediately. The problem now is that some retailers say they are now too afraid to sell it in public due to potential harassment by state law enforcement or violent far-left activists. Nancy Fraeser has also not returned their office furniture or domain name yet.
