Green council member in “Nazigate” scandal, no party member!

The EDP can reveal that Charlie Caine, who has represented the Greens in the Norwich city council for a year, only became a member last week after the amazing omission was finally discovered.

The amazing supervision means that the party has rejected an official complaint into the alleged behavior of the city council.

The revelation arranged anger and overthrew the Greens into fresh turbulence and raised serious questions about the competence of their high -ranking numbers in the county.

Mike Stonard, the Labor leader of the city council of Norwich, accused the Greens of “coarse deception” and “undisciplined chaos” and said that the city council “had to answer questions”.

In February, the Greens received a complaint from a party member about the alleged behavior of City Councilor Caine, as a group that attended a silent vigil for Afghan women and children in the center of Norwich, said that the member for Mile Cross shouted at “Nazis”.

However, the party replied to the complainant last week – after almost three months of consideration – said: “Charlie Caine is not a member of the Green Party, so the complaint cannot be continued at this time.”

In the meantime, it occurred two days after the complaint was closed on April 24 as a Green Party member as a Green Party member.

According to the rules of the Green Party, the candidates must be members to stand for the party.

The electoral commission said the mistake in which a politician was elected and represents a party without being a member of it violates none of his rules.

The Norwich City Council did not answer whether it violated its rules and whether it would investigate.

Lucy Galvin, leader of the green group in the town hall, said: “Charlie Caine is a member of the Green Party and sits as an estimated member of the Green Group of Councils.”

Charlie Caine refused to comment.

Opposition attacks

Mr. Stonard said he was “incredulously” to discover that the Green Council member was not a member of the party and that his officials should now initiate an investigation of the original allegations.

He added: “The Greens introduced a candidate who was not even a party member and was not bound to their guidelines and rules, including the disciplinary rules.

“This was a rough deception of Mile Cross's people who thought, they knew what Charlie Caine stood for when they chose him.

“The entire episode underlines the undisciplined chaos and the unpredictability of the Norwich Green group, which is not much agreed and interspersed with fights. After an embarrassing episode, we saw an embarrassing episode.

“It is not surprising that the leader of the local group who led this confusion refused to comment on the most recent scandal of City Councilor Caine – I assume that it is too embarrassing to admit that they had no control over him and could not examine him because he was not a party member.

“City Councilor Caine has some questions to answer, but what is more important, the local leadership of the Green Party has very serious questions to answer how this deception and lack of honesty have come about with the public.

“I understand that Council member Caine has now joined the Green Party – far too late – but the local leadership has to explain whether it is being examined, or must he quietly, no questions, to avoid embarrassment?

“The public and the residents of Mile Cross have the right to answers.”

Start of the saga

The silent vigil for women and children in Afghanistan was organized by the Norwich Women's Rights Group (NWRG) and the WRN -Rights network (WRN) Norfolk.

The groups previously expressed concerns about the effects of gender -specific ideology on women and girls, although the vigil is not related to this topic.

The city council is a transman – someone who was born, but who identifies himself as a man – and is accused of shouting on the assembly and describing it assembled “Nazis” and “Transphobes”.

The Norwich City Council also examined a complaint, but the surveillance officer found that the code of conduct had not given any violations, since the city council was not an official business at that time.

“No city council, no green, no case to answer …”

A spokeswoman for NWRG said: “The surveillance officer found that the unusual outbreak of abuse with a peaceful protest by the city harbor, who was chosen for the Green Party in the milestone, has nothing to do with the council because we all know that we report a member of the council as a member of the council that we do not Council Council Council Councilor Councilor Councilor member.

“And now the Green Party finds nothing to do with them, since the city council chosen in its name is not even a member of the Green Party.

“Who will take responsibility? Apparently not Caine, not the Green Party and not the Council's surveillance officer.”
