Legal dispute over Compact: Ruling of the Federal Administrative Court today!
On June 24, 2025, an important decision was made by the Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig. The court announced its verdict on the ban on the right-wing extremist magazine “Compact”, which was issued by the Federal Ministry of the Interior. This happened in the first and last instance, meaning that the decision can no longer be appealed. The magazine, which propagates a ethnic-nationalist approach to society and spreads anti-Semitic and racist content, considers the verdict to be unjustified and announced that, in the event of a defeat, it would go to the Federal Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights to take action against the decision. The editor Jürgen Elsässer and his wife Stephanie appeared at the hearing, at which the Senate's bias was also discussed daily news reported.
The ban was due to the magazine's rejection of the constitutional order. Elsässer and his lawyer argue that the statements, which are classified as extremist, are legally legal. The debate over freedom of expression formed a central part of the trial, while presiding judge Ingo Kraft confronted Elsässer about his role within the AfD-affiliated “Blue Wave” event series.
Crime and racism in Leipzig
In addition, students from a dormitory in Lößnig report racist hostility from young people who are described as a “right-wing youth gang”. Initially, two social workers contradicted this classification and argued that it was about problematic behavior among young people in the area and not an organized gang. In light of these incidents, the social discourse about racism and violence takes on new urgency.
Health care and climate adaptation
Large glass fronts are increasingly being avoided in newly planned buildings in order to fundamentally improve the indoor climate. These preventive measures are part of a broader approach to healthcare adapted to the challenges posed by climate change. At the same time, new shops are opening in Leipzig, including a concept store by Pia Neumann on Eisenbahnstraße, which offers pop culture, upcycled clothing, jewelry and books - a glimmer of hope in the midst of current social tensions.
