The Interim is a Berlin-produced magazine for the autonomous scene with nationwide importance.
overview
The Interim was created during the autonomous campaign against the meeting of the International Monetary Fund in September 1988 in Berlin. The first issue came out on May 1, 1988. In the foreword she refers negatively to the “ radical ” as “petrified in illegality” as well as the operaist magazine “ Wildcat ” and “ Autonomie ” as “specialist journals of theorists” . The conspiratorial editorial team can only be reached via a post office box in Mehringhof and mainly compiles their anonymously sent discussion contributions on left-wing radical theory and practice, demonstration calls and appointments, as well as letters of confession from militant groups, largely unprocessed. Submissions that have not been printed will be filed in folders and made available in a Berlin info shop , the M99 - General Store with Need for Revolution . The editorial team changes from issue to issue, so communication with the editorial team is always carried out by naming the relevant issue.
The Interim serves the autonomous scene as an important communication platform. Thus, in the establishment of the first organized was Antifa groups opens organizing debate as conducted in the interim as that of the radical left-wing militant separatist group militant group (mg) forced militancy debate .
Based on the experiences of other magazines of the autonomous movement with investigative and criminal proceedings, the Interim was created and disseminated conspiratorially from the start. Investigations were opened several times on the occasion of individual issues, in the course of which there were sometimes house searches and part of the issue was confiscated. In 2010 there were several trials and an indictment against the managing directors of left-wing bookshops in which interim expenses had been laid out. All ended with the proceedings being dismissed.
The print run varies between 1500 and 2500 copies, which consist of 32 to 36 A4 pages.
Alignment
The Interim is considered to be autonomous and libertarian . The printing of a leaflet by the Turkish, Marxist-Leninist- oriented “ Bolshevik Partisan ” was rejected with the following remark:
- “ Regarding the request of BP (Bolshevik Partisan) to have their paper printed by May 1st in the Interim: We will gladly meet your request as soon as you hear Bakunin's speech at the founding congress of the 1st International and the text of Rosa Luxemburg in your party organ on the Bolshevik Revolution ('Freedom is always the freedom of those who think differently'). "
Assessment of the constitution protection authorities
She is classified as left-wing extremist by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution and is regularly cited by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution because of her broad reception within the left-wing scene , although it has decreased since 2001 .
The protection of the constitution of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia classified the magazine as a "defining mouthpiece of the militant scene", which contained "undisguised requests and instructions on acts of violence, including against right-wing extremists and their institutions or for attacks on Castor transports".
Covert operation by the Federal Criminal Police Office
The German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) took part in the interim militancy debate in 2005 and 2006 with two letters published in the interim under the pseudonym “The two from the muppet show” . The secret operation was intended to lead readers of the magazine to the website of the BKA in order to gain knowledge about the militant group. There, 417 IP addresses of the visitors were stored and 120 user data were determined from this, which until 2009 did not lead to any relevant results.
