Overview

  • Klöckner said AfD and Linke are competing to earn the first rule violation and accused them of treating debates as content for TikTok and other platforms.
  • Early June, she expelled Cansin Köktürk for a Palestine-printed T-shirt and two weeks earlier Marcel Bauer for wearing a beret.
  • She argued that the dress code ban on political messages is meant to prevent deliberate provocations and keep focus on verbal debate.
  • The Bundestagspräsidentin has threatened disciplinary measures against Green Youth chair Jette Nietzard over a police-hostile sweater and slogan cap.
  • Her strict stance reflects an effort to maintain order and decorum in the heavily polarized Bundestag.
