Fired Up In Berlin: Green Party MP Cansin Köktürk Kicked Out For Standing Up For Palestine 🔥

Turns out, MP Cansin Köktürk from the Green Party wasn't just kicked out of the Bundestag in Berlin because she was wearing a comfy pullover. Nope, sorry to break it to you, it was a T-shirt with a powerful message: Palestine.

On Wednesday, Bundestag President Julia Klöckner caught the attention of the world when she booted Köktürk from the parliament for flouting a strict rule – no political messaging allowed on clothing during sessions.

Now, you might be wondering, why the big deal with a T-shirt? Well, Bundestag rules are designed to keep things professional and neutral in the parliament. That means no stickers, no slogans, nada – nothing that could potentially stir up political emotion.

But Köktürk refused to budge, and as you can imagine, things got heated. When Klöckner requested a change, Köktürk stood her ground, leading to a dramatic exit complete with an angry response and a finger pointed straight at someone in the chamber.

This incident serves as a reminder of the strict enforcement of parliamentary rules around political expression. It also raises questions about the limits of free speech in parliamentary settings.

Oh, fun fact: Despite initial reports, Köktürk was actually rocking a T-shirt, not a pullover. But don't let that distract you from the drama unfolding in Berlin.
