Lotta. Antifascist newspaper from North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse previously Lotta. Antifaschistische Zeitung from NRW with contact address in Oberhausen , is a quarterly magazine which, with an educational claim, essentially deals with the manifestations of right-wing extremism - formerly primarily in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia - and acts as a mouthpiece for the mainly extra - parliamentary anti-fascist Understands movement. In addition to information about the activities of the right-wing extremist scene and their environment, Lotta also regularly contains references to and reports on actions by the left-wing autonomous Antifa and other groups with close ties to the content, to which the magazine tries to mobilize.

Origin and focus

The magazine emerged in 1999 from the Antifaschistische NRW-Zeitung , which appeared from 1993 to 1998 with a total of 17 issues and in 1993 emerged from the local scene publication Antifaschistischerbericht Wuppertal, which was rated by the North Rhine-Westphalian constitutional protection as a left-wing extremist . Lotta's content is not limited to the federal state, but also nationwide and Europe-wide events and developments are dealt with, with North Rhine-Westphalia, the neighboring federal states and the Netherlands in the foreground.

The magazine cooperates with the Internet portal Linksnet .

Assessment of the constitutional authorities

The protection of the constitution in Baden-Württemberg classified the magazine as a left-wing extremist or left-wing extremist-influenced publication until 2007 .

In a preliminary legal protection procedure initiated by the newspaper before the Administrative Court in Düsseldorf , the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution of North Rhine-Westphalia was forbidden by decision of June 3, 2009 from naming Lotta in its 2008 annual report. The court found in the result: "In particular, [the protection of the constitution] does not assume that in the case of [LOTTA] (..) or even only with individual authors of articles in 'LOTTA', anti-constitutional efforts have been proven."
