Ömer Öztas: Greens throw it out - what really happened?

Wien, Österreich - The Viennese Greens have taken a dramatic step and excluded their Member of the municipal council Ömer Öztas from the party. This happened after allegations have been loud that Öztas is said to have brought numerous supporters to the party in order to secure his re -election for the municipal council election on April 27. The party leadership confirmed this step to the APA on Sunday, after a preliminary suspension had already been issued at the end of January, which excluded him from the candidacy when creating the list. Öztas showed himself to the Kurier disappointed to make an appeal against the exclusion.

background of the exclusion

The now excluded politician has been confronted with serious allegations since the beginning of the year that aimed at the fact that he has recruited several people to strengthen his own position in the party. This strategy should have made it possible for him to appear again on the list of candidates in the Vienna election. According to the information of the MeinDzirk sees Öztas as unfounded and expressed that "nothing was there". The exclusion of the party was already carried out last Friday.

The Greens have thus set a clear sign that such internal power games are not tolerated. In the meantime, according to official information, Öztas remains in the possession of his mandate, which means that it has no direct effects for the distribution of political threads in Vienna for the time being.
