(MENAFN)Austrian Resul Yigit’s membership to the Austrian People’s Party (OVP) ended due to a social media post supporting Palestinians.
He worked for years in the OVP that is managed by Prime Minister Sebastian Kurz but posted a Palestine flag along with “Free Palestine” on his account.
Anadolu Agency quoted Yigit as saying that "If a prime minister in a country could hang the flag of another country in the official office of the state and sloganize it, I was hoping that both politicians and the people would be able to express their opinion as they want, but unfortunately it was not like that."
He further declared that “Approximately one-and-a-half hours after my post on social media, I received a phone call from the party and I was told that my membership was terminated. Other party members also told me that I could not return to the party.”
