today at the polling place I was told to remove my keffiyeh before voting. 🍉

I insisted on knowing the legal basis, since it is neither a party-political symbol nor is not banned as unconstitutional. after a long discussion they couldn’t give me any reason other than an internal instruction at an election training conducted by the berlin senate.

I wonder if the fascist in combat boots, camouflage, and right-wing pins who came after me had to vote naked.
