Berlin DPA | The Bundestag administration justified the request to several deputies to remove rainbow flags attached to their offices, with the rules of the Parliament of the House of Representatives. Accordingly, the attachment of the flags “is not allowed and regardless of specific symbols,” said the representative of the Bundestag. “This is not about the control of rainbow flags.” Tagesspiegel was previously reported.

A request for deputies was issued at the beginning of the week. The press secretary emphasized that it was an ordinary process. There are always similar cases. There is a general ban, which also affects Germany, European or Europeans, as well as other flags and notifications.

According to the representative, administrative deputies recently indicated the Bundestag administration that the flags of the rainbow – the symbol of the Quirsk community – were attached to the windows of deputies from external windows.

One of the deputies who adorned her office with the flag of pride is Stella Merendino (left). “The Bundestag police were called from the rainbow flag in my office in the Bundestag,” she wrote on Instagram.

According to the representative of Bundestag, this is a common procedure. If the Bundestag administration checked the facts, “this is usually implemented by the Bundestag police and a presentation on access issues.” The rules of the house are known to all deputies.

Clause 4 says: “The notification application, in particular, posters, posters, signs and stickers on doors, walls or windows in generally accepted buildings of the German Bundestag, as well as the windows and facades of these buildings that are visible outside, are not allowed without exception.”

The rainbow flag of the debate

Bundestag President Julia Klekner (CDU) ordered to raise a rainbow flag in the Reichstag building on International Day against Homophobia (May 17) – and not on the day of Berlin Christopher -Strithon on July 26. This caused wide criticism.

The statement of the federal chancellor Friedrich Merets (CDU) continued to nourish the debate. When he was asked how he thinks that Klekner does not want to raise a rosy flag for CSD on Bundestag, he said in ARD: “Bundestag is now not a circus tent”, on which you can hiss. There is day on May 17, a day of the year, in which a rainbow flag rises.
