A.authors cancel their participation in the fair. A boycott is called. The debate goes as far as America. This is how you get to know the name of a publisher that nobody needs to know about. His publishing program is about the opposite of what the name suggests: not about a young, united, liberal, cosmopolitan Europe. The theses of the authors of “Young Europe” convey the opposite: that Europe in its current constitution is at an end, and that social democracy anyway. National socialism is the goal. The titles are mentally arson, but they don’t get any attention either – luckily. The refusals have made it different. What a shame, because there are so many more topics at the book fair that deserve attention.
A look into the law makes it easier to find the right law, says the lawyer, and thus avoids unnecessary excitement. The book fair doesn’t invite publishers, they are customers and buy stand space. If a publisher is excluded, it would have the right to clarify on what basis this is being done. Then, in case of doubt in court, a decision must be made as to whether the publications violate the law or are even unconstitutional. If this is not the case, nothing stands in the way of participation – this is also how the Book Fair sees it.
