Is Mayor Boris Palmer running for a third term in Tübingen?
That is also dependent on the party order procedure, he writes on Facebook.
Tübingen - Tübingen's Lord Mayor Boris Palmer (Greens) has not yet decided about a year before the mayor election whether he wants to run for a third term.
“In particular, I cannot yet foresee how the announced party regulation procedure will affect.
If I know what the exclusion claim is based on, I will consult with my lawyer Rezzo Hose about the consequences and further steps, ”wrote Palmer on his Facebook page.
At the beginning of May, a party convention of the Greens in Baden-Württemberg decided to initiate party regulatory proceedings against Palmer.
The reason for this decision was a Facebook post by Palmer about the former German national soccer player Dennis Aogo, in which the mayor 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.

Exploratory talks before the first directional decision
Meanwhile, Palmer welcomed the decision of the Green City Association to clarify in a vote by all members who can go into the OB election campaign with the support of the party. This is wise and correct, wrote Palmer. “I am pleased that, contrary to earlier statements by the Board of Management that I cannot receive any support, I am given the opportunity to apply for this support. That corresponds to the expectations of many members. ”A full year before the election is not the time for him to decide on a candidacy for a third term.
Palmer didn't say a word about a possible competitor in the fight for office, Ulrike Baumgärtner, who threw her hat into the ring on Saturday.
The current mayor in the Weilheim district of Tübingen announced that she wanted to apply for the top position in the town hall.
The OB election is scheduled for autumn 2022.
