Dutch politician Esther Ouwehand was asked to remove her first shirt (Palestine flag), so she came back wearing another one of watermelon seeds.

political symbols on clothing are not allowed

Not really. The Israeli flag has been raised over the German Bundestag building

You know that a building is not the same as clothing, right?

Why does it matter on what the political symbol is?

Because you're talking about a law or rule - it is literally all about how it is written - people build entire careers on debating the interpretation of how they are written.

"No government employee can wear political symbols to work" is 100%, clearly and entirely not the same as "No political symbols may be shown anywhere on any government property"

Seriously?? A downvote?? You asked why it matters, I explained why it matters, jfc, leave the nasty Reddit behaviour on Reddit tyvm.

Aww, you're so cute. Like the law would care about common sense instead of opressing minorities ;p

[–] HopFlop@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 days ago

Thats cute that you say opressing minorities because that decision (to put up the flag on that day) was made unanimously.

[–] HopFlop@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah because the Bundestag voted for it (unanimously btw)
