“Deeply hit”: Greens managing director Mihalic sorry for “ACAB” photo

The Parliamentary Managing Director of the Green Group, Irene Mihalic, calls for one by Green Youth boss Jette Nietzard Sorry for police officers Because of a post with an anti-Police sweater. “All police officers and police officers are not a contribution to a critical and constructive debate, but damages our years of work as a green man in dialogue with the police,” Mihalic told the “Spiegel”.

You therefore expect “a sincere apology without wague and relativization”. Nietzard had shown itself on her private Instagram channel with a sweater on which the abbreviation “ACAB” was read. It stands for “All cops are bastards” (German: All police officers are bastards) And is used in police -critical circles – among other things in the left to left -wing extremist milieu.

She also wore a cap with the capitalism -critical inscription “Eat the Rich”. After criticism of an Instagram contribution, the chairwoman of the Green Youth, Jette Nietzard, rowed a bit back-but remains with her police criticism. “I don’t think that was the right way to draw attention to the problems,” she said in the “Stern” podcast “5-minute talk”.

Nietzard posted the text for the Instagram story: “On the way to the Bundestag. What does Julia Klöckner find worse: ACAB Pulli – Eat the Rich Cap? “ The Greens politician probably referred to a past incident in the Bundestag meeting room, in which the left-wing MP Marcel Bauer was referred to by Bundestag President Julia Klöckner due to a basket cap in the hall.

Mihalic, who is a policewoman herself, said You personally met the performance. She said to her party friend: “I do not know if she has made it aware that people are behind the street every day to ensure security, to fight crime, to ward off dangers, to keep the traffic running and much more.”

Nietzard owns sweater “as a private individual”

Nietzard said about the sweater: “I own this sweater as a private personI posted an Instagram story as a private person. It might have had to be clear to me as a spokeswoman for the Green Youth. ” However, they didn’t want to trigger a discourse. “Now we have it. But I don’t think it was the right way.”

Nietzard had been criticized for the story, and leading Greens went at a distance. The deputy group leader of the Greens in the Bundestag, Constantine von Notz, wrote on X “All Cops are bastards” was “A completely underground, unacceptable and insulting take for all police officers ”.

Party leader Franziska Brantner shared the contribution on her profile. A spokesman for the Federal Executive Board of the Greens said the “Bild”: “Obviously, this has nothing to do with green politics, our program is known.”

Party leader Felix Banaszak said in the RT/NTV “early start” that nobody in the Greens could agree with such a general assessment. “This is an unacceptable statement.” They have to decide on their whereabouts at the head of the youth organization.

The former Federal Minister of Agriculture and freshly elected Prime Minister candidate in the southwest, Cem Özdemir, wrote on the platform X: “The police defend the values ​​that have not understood us as a party every day.

Bavaria’s Interior Minister insists at an apology

Bavaria’s Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann called for a comprehensive apology from Nietzard to the police. “I expect an apology to the insult of our police officers with ‘ACAB’. Clearly, stupid polemics are neither advanced questions of social compensation nor internal security,” said the CSU politician of the German Press Agency.

Nietzard’s contribution was spiritual and tasteless, says Herrmann. At the same time, he emphasized that he invited the Greens and all other representatives of the opposition parties in the Bundestag for a discussion about the design of society in these challenging times – nationally and internationally. “I think we should concentrate our energy in search of solutions and their implementation.”

The head of the German police union, Rainer Wendt, Nietzard’s new statements called half -heartedly. “The Half -hearted back from Ms. Nietzard It is completely unbelievable, it behaves as much as right -wing populists often do: first make the headlines with excitement extreme statements, in order to then put “the said”, “said RTL.

She speaks for the youth organization of a party that is constantly using the To teach people in Germany about respect, tolerance and cohesion.

Green Youth boss “did not hate police as a whole”

So far, the 26-year-old stayed with her police criticism. “Of course I don’t hate the police as a whole, but What I hate is the system behind it and how it is building“, She said in the podcast. In her opinion, there are no reasonable police studies, no structural processing of violence and racist tendencies that the police would not be transparent enough.

In turn, the boss of the Green Youth Organization criticized the party leadership, often not to be direct enough. “I would also like the Greens to address the police and especially the structural things that are accompanied by it, especially after Lorenz’s death, for example.”

A policeman had shot five times in the direction of a young man named Lorenz on the night of Easter Sunday. Several shots met the young Germans, he died of the injuries.

As is customary in such a case, the 27-year-old police officer is determined for manslaughter. Activists fear that the shots on the blacks have structural racist background. (dpa)
