Julia Klockner's election as president of the German parliament marked a shift towards conservatism, as she faced backlash for refusing to display the rainbow Pride flag during Christopher Street Day. Her non-approval of queer members attending the parade escalated tensions, leading protests from Green and Left Party legislators. Furthermore, Klockner's stringent enforcement of the Bundestag's clothing rules, which have led to expulsions for political expressions, raised concerns about the limits on free expression in the political arena. This reflects her commitment to a tightened political decorum and conservative values.
Julia Klockner's decision to not fly the rainbow Pride flag on the Reichstag and restricting CSD parade attendance has stirred controversy among progressive lawmakers in Germany.
Klockner's strict interpretation of the Bundestag’s clothing rules has previously led to the ejection of members for wearing politically expressive attire, raising concerns about censorship.
