German Greens Party Faces Backlash Over Youth Leader’s Controversial Post
The German Greens Party has come under fire after a prominent member of the party’s youth wing, Jette Nietzard, sparked outrage with a social media post. The controversy has prompted a senior CDU politician, Alexander Throm, to call for her expulsion from the party.
Throm, an expert on internal affairs, has stated that if Nietzard does not voluntarily leave the party, the Greens should exclude her due to her actions being detrimental to the party’s image. He further emphasized that the extreme left’s stance on police officers is one of disdain and hatred.
The controversy stems from a recent Instagram post by Nietzard, which featured a sweater with a slogan critical of the police. Although she later apologized for the post, the damage has already been done, with some critics arguing that the Greens have lost all credibility in the area of security policy if they choose to keep her within the party.
