Overview
- The Hamburg Regional Court rejected Müller’s emergency injunction, treating the contested wording as permissible opinion and part of a satirical critique.
- Judges adopted a broad view of “support,” holding that a non-rejecting public stance can justify the label without proof of donations or concrete actions.
- The ruling pointed to Müller's 2024 NZZ remarks—saying he was “somewhere in between” observer and sympathizer—and found no thorough distancing from the AfD.
- The decision is not yet legally final, but Müller said he will not pursue further legal remedies.
- Campact welcomed the outcome and plans to ramp up its outreach, citing roughly 28,000 posters, more than two million stickers, and large façade projections.
