Jette Nietzard, national spokesperson for Grüne Jugend, the youth organisation of the Greens party, ignited controversy by publicly discussing the possibility of armed resistance should the right-wing Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) attain power in 2029.
Speaking on a podcast, Nietzard raised the question: “Would resistance then be only intellectual? Or might it also involve weapons?”
In a follow up interview with the weekly Freitag, she repeated her words:
How prepared is our civil society, how prepared are our parties for the fact that a certain right-wing extremist party could govern in Germany in 2029? What should our resistance against a governing AfD look like? Would it only be intellectual? Or should we also take up arms? The question is: “Are we ready?”
When pressed on whether this implied opposition “against the will of the voters,” she replied: “Against fascism.”
Nietzard’s remarks follow earlier controversy in May, when she posted an Instagram photo wearing a sweater emblazoned with “ACAB” (“All Cops Are Bastards”)—a move that drew criticism even from her own party.
Nietzard’s remarks come at a time when the AfD enjoys growing popular support, polling at around 25% nationally. Despite this democratic backing, parts of the political establishment continue to discuss banning the party altogether—a move that would be an undemocratic attempt to silence legitimate opposition.
