NAfter the Greens in Baden-Württemberg asked Boris Palmer to leave the party, the mayor of Tübingen received an offer of admission from the liberals. FDP State President Michael Theurer said “Bild am Sonntag”: “Boris Palmer is welcome to FDP Baden-Württemberg. We are a home for critical minds. We can take it, we fight for freedom of expression.”
Theurer praised the intelligence and enthusiasm for the discussion of the Greens politician, who had fallen out of favor: “Boris Palmer is an intelligent and fighting person who sometimes exceeds the mark, he does not always hit the right note, but he is also capable to understand and talk about different addiction opinions. “
The Baden-Württemberg Greens state executive had asked Palmer to leave the party on Friday night after a video-board meeting that lasted several hours. “The regional board expects Boris Palmer to leave our party,” says the decision. A party order procedure is reserved. The Greens had previously stated that they would no longer support Palmer.
However, Palmer wants to remain a member of the Greens. “I am more ecological due to ecological conviction. That is why I remain a member, “he told F.A.Z .:” The request to leave is based solely on false assumptions and contains no arguments. “
In late April, Palmer called for a change in the disease protection strategy to fight the Sars-Cov-2 virus. The 47-year-old mayor had advocated better protection and testing for the elderly and pre-ill and more intensive testing and facilitating closure for the rest of the population.
In an interview with the television station SAT1, he said: “Let me tell you very brutally: in Germany, we can save people who would be dead in six months anyway, because of their age and previous illnesses.”
