The conviction of far-right leader Bjorn Hocke for using a banned Nazi slogan highlights ongoing legal challenges amidst the far-right's ascension in Europe.
Judge Stengel emphasized the importance of countering the resurgence of old Nazi symbols, as Hocke was fined for willfully using the banned phrase 'Everything for Germany'.
Hocke's defense argued that the phrase should not be banned, despite evidence of him gesturing to a crowd to complete the Nazi slogan.
Hocke claimed the trial was politically motivated to stifle his speech while being fined 16,900 euros for repeated instances of using the prohibited Nazi slogan.
