Jürgen Elsässer

Jürgen Elsässer (born 20 January 1957) is a German journalist and political activist. Once active in left-wing circles, he later became a prominent figure in Germany's far-right scene. He is the founder of Compact, a magazine classified as extremist by the BfV in 2021 and banned by the BMI in 2024, though the ban was later overturned, with a final decision pending.
