The recent ban on the far-right magazine "Compact" by Germany's Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has sparked significant controversy.

While the magazine is known for promoting extremist views, the Media Association of Free Press (MVFP) has criticized the ban as a serious infringement on press freedom.

The MVFP argues that such actions should be decided by the courts, not the executive branch.

Following the ban, police conducted raids on the magazine's offices and the homes of its key figures, citing the magazine's role in inciting hatred and undermining democracy.

The ban has also led to the suspension of the magazine's distribution and the closure of its associated YouTube channels.

Critics, including members of the far-right AfD party, have condemned the ban, claiming it stifles dissent and undermines media diversity.
