Jette Nietzard causes a stir in the Bundestag with scandalous sweater – Klöckner threatens drastic measures!

At the end of May, Jette Nietzard posted how she was on her way to the Bundestag wearing an "ACAB" sweater and a baseball cap with the inscription "Eat the rich." For those who don't know: "ACAB" stands for "All Cops Are Bastards," which is an insult to all police officers. This was, of course, a perfect opportunity for critics and sparked a wave of outrage. As if that wasn't enough, Nietzard also asked her followers what they thought was worse – the anti-police sweater or the anti-capitalism cap.

Julia Klöckner pulls the emergency brake

The response to Nietzard's little survey came faster and sharper than she probably expected. Bundestag President Julia Klöckner left no doubt about her stance through a controversial letter that has now reached the public. In it, Klöckner makes it clear: Such clothing items are a violation of the house rules in the Bundestag buildings. She stands protectively in front of the police and strongly rejects the message of the print. This is a clear statement from the highest level!

What the young politician can expect now

The consequences that Klöckner threatens are significant. If Jette Nietzard appears again in the Bundestag with provocative clothing, she faces a fine of up to 5,000 euros. And in case of a repeat offense? She could even lose her house pass – a de facto house ban in the German parliament! That would be a massive setback for the career of the young Green politician and a clear sign that provocations in the Bundestag are not tolerated.

The Greens distance themselves – but Nietzard remains stubborn

Interestingly, even her own party distanced itself from their young rebel. Heavyweights like former minister Cem Özdemir and Baden-Württemberg's Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann are said to have even suggested that Nietzard leave the party. But Jette Nietzard remains completely unimpressed so far. In an interview, she emphasized being elected until October and wanting to continue leading the youth association. She finds an apology "exaggerated" and although she admits that not every police officer is "a pig," she stands by her "systemic criticism of the police."

A vicious cycle of provocation?

It seems this is not the first time Jette Nietzard has caused a stir. As early as the beginning of 2025, she made headlines with a highly controversial firecracker tweet. And her recent statements suggest that it won't be the last provocation. Right after the "ACAB" scandal, she already posted another controversial sweater – this time with expropriation demands. And she pointedly noted that she still has "a few other sweaters in the closet." This promises more exciting headlines!
