Martian Sellner, the head honcho of "Compact", penned down the content
Updated Article:
Hey there! Let's chat about the intriguing saga surrounding Jürgen Elsässer, the boss man at the right-wing mag named "Compact." Elsässer has got a thing going with Martin Sellner, a renowned Austrian far-right dude, and the two's relationship has caused some stir among the legal folks.
During negotiations about banning Sellner's right-wing extremist rag, Elsässer spilled the beans: Sellner's a regular contributor to "Compact" because he draws in a young crowd. But Elsässer, as a fair-minded editor, allows for various opinions, even though he doesn't completely vibe with all of Sellner's schtick. Elsässer appreciates Sellner personally, calling him "brave" and "incorruptible." He even went as far as saying Sellner is like a modern-day Rudi Dutschke, a legendary German left-wing radical, implying that Sellner's a major player in the far-right scene.
Speaking of Sellner, he attended a right-wing Potsdam meeting in 2023, where the term "Remigration" was floated. Remigration advocates for massive migrant exodus, even involuntary departure. Post-meeting, "Compact" printed a special edition... supposedly as a fairness move to hear from the "ostracized." Sounds nice, but it's important to note that, at the time, Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) had banned the magazine, referring to it as the "main mouthpiece of the right-wing extremist scene."
Since then, the Leipzig judges provisionally lifted the ban, and they've been cracking open the case in the main proceedings. It's a heated legal battle over freedom of speech and acceptable discourse in Germany.
Fun fact: "Compact" has been in some hot water before for promoting anti-constitutional rhetoric that allegedly demeans migrants. Plus, their staunch views on migration and their ties to Sellner and the Remigration movement make them quite the controversial publication.
Well, that's the lowdown on the intertwined lives of Elsässer, Sellner, and "Compact." Stay tuned for more updates on this wild ride!
The controversial publication, "Compact," is currently embroiled in a heated legal battle over freedom of speech, following the Leipzig judges' decision to provisionally lift the ban on the magazine. Suspicions surrounding "Compact" were heightened after they printed a special edition to address the "ostracized" following a right-wing Potsdam meeting in 2023, where the Remigration concept was proposed, advocating for massive migrant exodus. This proposed concept, along with the magazine's previous accusations of promoting anti-constitutional rhetoric perceived as demeaning towards migrants, and their close connection to far-right figure Martin Sellner, has made "Compact" a polarizing figure in general-news, politics, and crime-and-justice circles.
