The German Parliament is initiating a fine, potentially reaching €100,000, against the far-right magazine *Compact*. The action stems from allegations that *Compact* engaged in advertising activities benefiting the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, despite the AfD not requesting or authorizing such promotion. Parliamentary administration officials claim *Compact*'s actions constituted unauthorized political advertising. The magazine, classified as right-extremist, now faces a formal penalty proceeding. This marks a rare instance of the parliament directly addressing promotional activities linked to a political party through a publication. The investigation will determine the extent of the violation and the appropriate fine amount. This case raises questions about the boundaries of political advertising and the responsibilities of media outlets.
