Rostock’s mayor has appealed against a performance ban for Xavier Naidoo. Such a decision is illegal.

Will the controversial singer Xavier Naidoo (49) be able to perform in Rostock after all? Lord Mayor Claus Ruhe Madsen (48) has appealed against a resolution that should prevent a concert in summer 2022. This is reported, among others, by the “Ostsee-Zeitung”.

A majority of Rostock’s citizens had previously decided not to allow Naidoo to appear in the town hall. Among other things, such a ban violates equal treatment rights, it is now said. After the objection, the citizenship must again deal with the possible ban on appearing in an upcoming meeting, which is scheduled for mid-June, as reported by the “NDR”. Should a majority repeatedly be in favor of a ban, the Interior Ministry would have to deal with the matter.

Naidoo was excluded from the jury of the RTL casting show “Deutschland sucht den Superstar” at the beginning of 2020 and was faced with accusations of racism. The singer was also noticed with controversial statements about the corona pandemic and conspiracy theories. Among other things, the city administration of Mannheim would like according to “Spiegel” prevent Naidoo from making an appearance.
