The Vienna Greens have decided to exclude councilor Öztas from their party after his recruitment of potential supporters sparked internal criticism.

On Sunday, the Greens confirmed to the APA a report by the "Kurier" (Online) about the exclusion of councilor Ömer Öztas. He is said to have brought people into the party to secure his re-election on the candidate list for the municipal council election on April 27.

Councilor of Vienna Greens Already Suspended

As early as the end of January, the councilor had been suspended by the party. Therefore, he was unable to run in the list creation for the Vienna Election on April 27, which took place on Saturday. The party exclusion took place last Friday. The councilor expressed his lack of understanding of the decision to the "Kurier" and announced that he would appeal against the party exclusion. The exclusion has no impact on his current mandate.
