Scandal about Greens MP: Yellow hair is fighting for political survival!
In the middle of severe allegations of sexual harassment, the member of the Bundestag of the Greens, Stefan Gelbhaar (48), is forced to fight his political existence. In a personal email to his party colleagues in Pankow, he expressed his sadness about the upcoming new coordination of his direct candidate for the Bundestag election on February 23. This decision was triggered after internal allegations that were raised against him, reports bz-berlin.de .
The Greens in Pankow, where yellow hair is considered a candidate, have already scheduled an election assembly for January 8th in order to decide on the direct candidacy. Gelbhaar, who has been sitting for the Bundestag since 2017, confirmed his candidacy at an earlier meeting in November with 98.4 percent of the votes. But after the allegations became known, he withdrew his claims to a safe list place, since he was personally severely affected under pressure from the party leadership. "To be honest, I was completely overwhelmed with the situation," he said, referring to the need to avert damage from the party, as the reported.
internal ombudsman investigates allegations
A party internal ombudsman has now started to check the allegations. On Thursday, those responsible already had a first conversation with yellow hair. This claims that he does not know what situations the symptoms refer to and are ready for discussions. The Berlin State Association has made it clear that one takes the allegations "very seriously" and that it is not about "banal things". Gelbhaar regretted regret about the discomfort that could apparently assume his side and urges the situation to clarify the situation, since no criminal complaints have been available.
Whether yellow hair can continue to run directly for Pankow despite the allegations, it remains to be seen. The new election assembly should give the members the opportunity to decide again, taking into account the ombuds' proceedings, while the district association and the state chairpersons are behind this decision. At a time when such allegations can have significant legal and moral consequences, Gelbhaar's political career could depend on this coordination.
