Various MPs of the German federations must remove rainbow flags from their offices. The confirmation of flags is “in principle not permitted and regardless of the concrete symbolism,” said a parliament spokesperson. It is not about checking rainbow flags, he assured.
“The Bondstag -Politie was called because of the rainbow flag at my office in the Bundestag,” said Stella Merendino (left) on the Instagram platform. However, according to the speaker, this is a common procedure that house rules are known to all MPs. The prohibition also applies to other flags and notifications, such as Germany and Europe.
Earlier, President of the Bundestag Julia Klöckner (CDU) had ordered the Regenboogvlag that was raised on the Reichstag building on July 26 in the Reichstag building against homophobia (17 May) and no longer on the Berlin Christopher Street Day (CSD). This has already brought criticism.

Merz has further fed the debate
Chancellor Friedrich Merz then fed the debate. “The Bundestag is not a circus tent now,” he commented on Klöckner’s decision. There is a day of the year on which the rainbow flag is hoisted, and that was 17 May. With this statement, the Chancellor criticized a lot, including the Coalition partner SPD and the left. About two weeks ago, the request to the MPs was unable to lift a rainbow flag on the Bundestag building. This is considered the central symbol of strange people.
