Ex–Green Youth Leader Reups Provocative New Year Post on X

The message reprises last year's deleted line, reviving scrutiny.

Overview

  • Jette Nietzard posted on X that men who lose a hand while setting off fireworks would at least not have to perform military service.
  • The new message explicitly echoes her 2024/25 New Year remark about injured men being unable to beat women.
  • Her earlier post followed a New Year’s period reported to have involved deaths and injuries, drew heavy criticism including from Greens, and was later deleted with an apology.
  • Nietzard is no longer chair of the Green Youth after opting not to run again in October and now works in the office of Green lawmaker Lena Gumnior.
  • By invoking conscription, the post taps into Germany’s debate over potential changes to military service.
