Harassment allegations: Pressure on Palmer after allegations grows also in the city hall
The public prosecutor's office is examining allegations against Tübingen's mayor, Boris Palmer, who rejects them. Now he is withdrawing from the public. Also under pressure from the municipal council?
More than half of Tübingen's city council members are calling on Mayor Boris Palmer to stop representing the city publicly until open questions are resolved. Palmer has already announced he will avoid public appearances while state prosecutors investigate allegations of sexual harassment against him. The 22 council members from AL/Grüne, SPD, Linken, and Klimaliste say this isn't enough, citing the mayor's personal and political responsibility. Palmer has denied the allegations and pledged to cooperate with investigators.
