The far-left German government has shut down a right-wing, anti-globalist magazine, raiding its offices with a large police force and seizing all of its assets.
On the morning of July 16, more than 300 policemen searched 14 buildings connected to Compact magazine, its management, and employees and confiscated the organization’s belongings.

According to WELT, the government seized electronic devices, data carriers, gold, vehicles, cash, and bank accounts. Compact’s website and social media channels, as well as its video production company, Conspect Film GmbH, were also shut down.
The home of Compact founder Jürgen Elsässer was raided by a police force accompanied by journalists from mainstream media outlets who took pictures of Elsässer in his bathrobe, a process described by some commentators as a “humiliation ritual.”

The Interior Ministry said in a statement, “In its wide-reaching publications and products, ‘COMPACT-Magazin GmbH’ disseminates anti-Semitic, racist, anti-minority, historical revisionist and conspiracy theory content.”
“Today I have banned the right-wing extremist COMPACT magazine,” German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser announced.
“It is a central mouthpiece of the right-wing extremist scene,” she added. “The ban shows that we are also taking action against the intellectual arsonists who foment a climate of hatred and violence against refugees and migrants and want to overcome our democratic state,” Faeser said.
