After the recent controversial statements made by Tübingen's Mayor Boris Palmer, his lawyer Rezzo Schlauch has clearly turned his back on him.
"Immediately after learning about the scandal for which Boris Palmer is responsible in Frankfurt, I gave up my personal and political loyalty and support as well as my legal representation," said hose on Sunday.
Tübingen - Palmer caused a stir on Friday with a verbal argument with a group in front of a migration conference in Frankfurt am Main.
In front of a building at the Goethe University, he had taken a stand on the way in which he used the "N-word".
When faced with shouts of "Nazis out," Palmer told the crowd, "It's nothing but the Star of David.
That's because I used a word that you attach everything else to.
If you say a wrong word, you are a Nazi.
Think about it.” Several media reported on the incident.
The so-called N-word describes a racist term for black people that was used in Germany in the past.
Hose, who used to be politically active for the Greens himself, said: "No provocation, no matter how harsh, no insults and insults, no matter how vile, of radical left-wing provocateurs justified establishing a historical parallel to the Jewish star as a symbol of the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany.
There is nothing left to explain, defend or excuse.”
Palmer has been criticized several times for controversial statements.
A party order process by the Greens ended with the compromise that he must give up his party membership by the end of this year.
Palmer has always had Rezzo hose on his side.
Hose legally represented Palmer in the party order process and also supported him in the election campaign in Tübingen.
