Boris Palmer's lawyer has sharply criticized the way in which the Greens headed the process of elimination against the mayor of Tübingen.
Even five months after the state party congress had decided, there is still no application and no procedure, said Palmer's legal advisor, former Green Party leader Rezzo Schlauch, in Stuttgart on Tuesday.
Stuttgart - It was "completely untrustworthy" when the Greens declared that the preparations for the exclusion proposal were very time-consuming.
"It is obvious that this delay should only serve to keep the Boris Palmer case out of the Bundestag election campaign, which runs from May to September, and is therefore of a purely tactical nature."
A Green spokeswoman said on Monday: "The preparations are complex and time-consuming, but we assume that we will be able to complete them within the next few weeks."
The occasion was a Facebook post by Palmer about the former German national soccer player Dennis Aogo, in which Palmer uses the so-called N-word. This term is used today to describe a racist term used in Germany for black people. The OB protested, however, that his statement was meant ironically.
Hose criticized that the Greens leadership behaved inconsistently.
"If, among other things, the legal requirement for exclusion from the party requires that the person concerned must cause" serious damage "to the party with his behavior, then it should have been in the urgent interest of the party to avert the" serious damage "through swift exclusion from the party ( ...). ”It was clear to the state executive that“ an elimination process during the election campaign would have caused considerable damage ”for the Greens.
