Representative in the process of elimination
Palmer calls for a hose
The Baden-Wuerttemberg Greens want to get rid of Boris Palmer, the party’s enfant terrible had crossed the line with a racist remark. In the party exclusion process, he is represented by a green veteran.
The Mayor of Tübingen Boris Palmer is supported in the party exclusion procedure operated by the Greens from the former Green Bundestag parliamentary group leader Rezzo Schlauch. “In the expected party regulation proceedings of the green party against Boris Palmer, I will take over his legal representation,” said a statement by hose.
Hose, who, like Palmer, comes from Baden-Württemberg, assured that he would do everything in his power “to ward off damage to my party and my client”. “Boris Palmer and I have agreed that Boris Palmer will not make any statements or statements on the disputed matter or related issues outside of the proceedings or during the duration of the proceedings,” the statement said.
Palmer had used the so-called N-word in a Facebook post about former international Aogo, who has a Nigerian father. This term is used today to describe a racist term used in Germany for black people. Palmer said the remark was satirical. The Greens now want to exclude him from the party.
The lawyer hose has been a member of the Greens since it was founded in 1980 and is regarded as a realo in his party. “I expressly do not understand the mandate as a political dispute with the party, but solely to protect the legal interests of my client Boris Palmer,” he said. From 1998 to 2002, he was the leader of the Greens in the Bundestag and had previously sat in the Baden-Württemberg state parliament for ten years since 1984.
