After receiving criticism for a social media post featuring a sexy doll with the phrase” Scheiss St Pauli” written on its forehead and an” S” letter resembling the Nazi SS logo, a German politician resigned from his local posts.
Bülent Büyükbayram, a member of Christian Democratic Union ( CDU) in Delmenhorst, a city in Germany, posted a photo on Facebook depicting a sex doll dressed in a St Pauli soccer club t-shirt and a noose. The image also showed the phrase” Shit St Pauli” written on the doll’s head, with an” S” designed to resemble the Nazi SS symbol, a paramilitary organization under Adolf Hitler. This image is banned in Germany. However, the article has since been removed from social internet
Büyükbayram, 50, has resigned from all public practices and apologized to St Pauli, a European League football club based in Hamburg.
” It was a terrible mistake”, he told Bild paper. ” I am receiving major risks. I have apologized to St Pauli”.
The CDU confirmed Büyükbayram’s departure, reaffirming its position against all forms of discrimination, murder, and extremist metaphor.
St Pauli released a statement on the event, saying it is considering legitimate action against Büyükbayram.
Club leader Oke Göttlich said, as quoted by The Athletic:” Phrases can be explosive devices, so like actions should be taken quite seriously. We are examining possible criminal penalties for the use of SS inscriptions, and we also assume that such conduct will become prosecuted.
The common prosecutor’s office has received a problem and is already deciding whether to open an investigation.
Known for its various fan base and left-leaning social position, St Pauli is constantly involved in social activities, including support for refugees, campaigning for minority privileges, and promoting ecological consciousness.
