Former professional-turned-pundit Aogo recently published a WhatsApp message on his Instagram account in which the former Germany goalkeeper Jens Lehmann called him a “token black guy”, leading to Lehmann’s sacking from Hertha Berlin’s supervisory board.
She also rejected Palmer’s claim that he was being ironic and said he had lost the party’s backing.
The Greens in Baden-Württemberg have distanced themselves from Palmer in the past, without going as far as voting to revoke his membership.
The Greens are not the only party under pressure to contain rogue members, however.
Maassen, a former head of Germany’s domestic intelligence agency, was removed from his job in 2018 after casting doubt on the authenticity of a video showing rightwing protesters chasing a man through the streets of Chemnitz.
