Left Party MP expelled from German parliament for wearing Palestine t-shirt
-
God forbid politicians make political statements.
Not with their clothes, though.
The political debate in the Bundestag is conducted through words and to be fair, that seems like a reasonable idea. -
Left Party MP Cansin Köktürk was thrown out of a German parliament plenary chamber on Wednesday for wearing a t-shirt with the word "Palestine" printed on it, a move deemed a political statement by the parliamentary leadership.
Bundestag President Julia Klöckner intervened during the session, reminding MPs that political messages on clothing are not permitted in the chamber.
While the Bundestag does not have a detailed dress code, its rules require MPs and visitors to dress "in keeping with the prestige" of the institution. Enforcement of this standard is left to the discretion of the session chair.
Uh... This person's whole job is to make political statements.

Whoever put this rule on the books needs to be slapped across the face.

"You shouldn't do politics here"
"But it's literally the Parliament!"

In Germany (because of ours history) only fascists (and clueless normies during sport events) think the German flag is something you'd consider associating yourself with. If you're only a tiny bit left leaning it's yucky af even thinking about e. g. wearing a t-shirt with a German flag. Ew.

oh. well i dont get it. i mean yes, you never were just born into being a german so being proud makes no sense, if you think about it. But if you helped in any way making your country or region better then its "your" Flag, no? Can germans wear the Bavaria or Bremen Flag on a shirt? what is then? i sincerely dont know,

The flag that stands for a democratic Germany is something only fascists associate with? Interesting take I've gotta say...

Citing Die Welt first is not really a smart move. But someone that thinks Freiwild is just a normal band is maybe not the right person to explain this to.

This was the case until 2006, though. Today, is really not like that anymore.

Yes they can. In Germany you can wear any flag you want except the Nazi Flag (and related symbols from the Third Reich).

The same people who show German flags on their clothes or social media profile pictures usually show up when there is some right wing protest, or next to some racist online comments, so it's no longer a flag but more like the maga hat. It also serves as a sign so guys with small dicks can find each other.
