Bathrobe protest: Jürgen Elsässer mobilizes for large demo!

Köln, Deutschland - Jürgen Elsässer, the controversial editor of the "Compact" magazine, has moved into the spotlight by a planned demonstration, which is due to take place on July 24, 2025. Under the motto "Germany is up", the event in Berlin with the striking picture of Alsatian in the bathrobe is advertised as a symbol for resistance to the established politicians. The bathrobe is intended to refer to the criticism of leadership figures such as Katrin Göring-Eckardt and Annalena Baerbock, whose policies are considered insufficient by Alsatians. In his role as a controversial publicist, he emphasizes the importance of freedom of expression and critical content in his magazine, which is repeatedly in the area of ​​tension between political extremism and journalistic reporting, such as Compact-online.de reported.

The spread of content, some of which contains anti-Semitic and racist views, has recently led to a ban on the “Compact” magazine by the Federal Ministry of the Interior. This is seen as a hard blow against the right -wing extremist scene, which Alsatians and his magazine have fueled strongly in recent years. In various federal states such as Brandenburg and Hessen, the authorities set house searches to secure evidence for upcoming legal proceedings. The measure was sharply criticized by AfD officials, which regarded the ban as an attack on freedom of expression. At the same time, "Compact" is described as a platform that establishes connections between the AfD and militant right-wing extremist groups, such as n-tv.de determined.

response to the ban

The reactions to the ban on "Compact" are mixed. Alice Weidel, the chairwoman of the AfD, expressed concerns about state control over press organs, while Björn Höcke, Thuringian AfD boss, described the ban as a attack on freedom of the press. In the political landscape of Germany, the ban causes excitement, since this measure could have far -reaching effects on the freedom of press freedom in the country. In his autobiography, Elsässer addresses his change from a left to a patriotic actor in the scene and thus illustrates the inner conflict within the political extremisms that can be found in Germany.

The debate on the expected effects of the ban and the role of publications such as "Compact" occurs against the background of a continuing resistance to the right of rights in society. Most recently, far -reaching demonstrations were held in more than 60 cities against the increase in right -wing extremism. According to official information, around 40,000 people gathered in Cologne, which means that the event was significantly larger than originally predicted, with number of participants, which the organizers estimate to even 75,000. These demonstrations are expression of the depths in the population about the political development in Germany, as Tageschau.de

in Berlin also gathered numerous people under the motto "We stand together", organized by initiatives such as "Campact" and "Fridays for Future". Here the variety of declaration for a pluralistic society became visible that clearly positions itself against right -wing extremism. In view of this broad commitment in civil society, Jürgen Elsässer's upcoming bathrobe demonstration is still perceived as controversial and could possibly act as a catalyst for new political tensions.
