German Green Party’s Parliamentary Spokesperson Marcel Emmerich has distanced himself from the spokesperson of the Green Youth, Jette Nietzard. According to the “Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland”, Nietzard had asked her Instagram followers a question, inquiring what Julia Klöckner, a German politician, found more disagreeable: a “All Cops Are Bastards” sweater or the “Eat the rich” slogan.
Emmerich stated to the RND, “Such provocative individual statements do not reflect the position of our faction and the party.” He emphasized the daily responsible and dedicated work of the police in ensuring the safety and freedom of the public, often under challenging and precarious circumstances. In his view, the police deserve respect and support, not a blanket devaluation.
