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.

    No. Nobody wants that, nobody is trying that. Take your fucking right wing dogwhistles and “great replacement” pipe dreams and piss off.

    For context: this user just dropped the n-bomb in another thread.

        Oh, and there’s surely no other possibility, like, idk, them having palestinian backgrounds and meaning Palestine being their land and not Israel’s? For all I know you could just make shit up.

        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.
