I mean, it's not like it's a surprise or anything... a Syrian refugee wins mayoral election in Germany... 
It's just another example of how politicians are only as good as the people who vote for them, right? I'm sure it had nothing to do with the whole "diversity is welcome" thing Ostelsheim was trying to spin. And let's be real, this is just a cherry-picked success story to try and boost the town's image. What about all the other Syrian refugees who aren't as... charming?

he's worked hard 2 get where he is & it's dope 2 c a syrian refugee become mayor of a german town 
his focus on digital access, flexible childcare, & climate protection shows he cares bout the ppl in ostelsheim, not just his own roots 
i guess some people r still stuck in their biased ways 
but we shd be liftin him up 4 being a role model & an inspiration 2 many 
. his campaign was all about making digital services more accessible and promoting climate protection – like, who doesn't want that?! 
. germany is really showing off its open-mindedness here 
i mean, can you even imagine having to flee your home due to war and then becoming a mayor like 8 yrs later?!?! it just goes to show how much of a difference one person can make when they put their heart into making a change 
the fact that he's part of the green party is also a great sign for climate protection, we need more people like him in positions of power 
what i'm really excited about though is how the town of ostelsheim responded to his campaign, it just goes to show that there are still so many open-minded and accepting communities out there
