Overview

  • On May 25, Jette Nietzard posted an Instagram story wearing a sweatshirt labeled “ACAB” and an “Eat the rich” cap en route to the Bundestag.
  • Bundestagspräsidentin Julia Klöckner’s office warned that displaying political slogans in the chamber could incur up to €5,000 in fines or revocation of Nietzard’s parliamentary access pass.
  • Green Party co-chair Franziska Brantner has scheduled talks with Nietzard and emphasized the party’s respect for police work while distancing itself from her message.
  • Junge Union leader Johannes Winkel urged the Verfassungsschutz to place the Green Youth under surveillance, citing widespread support for Nietzard’s post within the organization.
  • Nietzard has refused to apologize or resign, and figures like BKA officer and Green member Jan-Denis Wulff are calling for internal debate to marginalize extremist positions.
