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.

Ah, yes. The name of a geographic location is a "political message."

Only "Die Linke". Not the Greens.

No. Not only "Die Linke", the LEFT. The greens (or as I like to call them "Kameradschaft 90 Die Grünen") are a right wing party with green color. They have abandoned both their social and their climate agenda. They are scum in my book.

Fair warning: DKP sides with russia so I personally would not vote for them if you paid me for it but other "lEfT wInG eXtReMiSt" parties I dont oppose.

If you want the 1919 SPD, if you care about your fellow citizens at all, you should at least vote "Die Linke", yes.

"Send protofascist freikorps to murder the revolutionaries" 1919 SPD? I think you wanted to move away from fascism, not towards it?

I might need to check that again.
