Good evening,
since Angela Merkel became Federal Chancellor 16 years ago, the general election has always been the same: North Hesse always voted the SPD candidate in the constituencies with the first vote.
The south opted for the representative of the CDU.
But this year the Christian Democrats face similar losses in direct mandates as last in 2005 or 1998: According to a projection by the statistics office Election.de, the CDU could lose eight constituencies in Hesse, seven of them to the SPD and one to the Greens (the constituency of Frankfurt I).
Other providers suspect even higher losses.
However, the data for this must be viewed with caution, Falk Heunemann explains why.

The public prosecutor's office in Frankfurt, which is predominantly investigating the workers' welfare complex (AWO) in Frankfurt and Wiesbaden, has brought an initial charge: From the point of view of the authorities, there is sufficient suspicion against a 61-year-old man from Wiesbaden, the former managing director of the district association AWO- To have instigated Wiesbaden to infidelity in a particularly serious case. The background to this is the employment of his daughter from February 2017 as a research assistant in refugee aid. According to the investigations, the accused used his contacts to the former AWO managing director to get his daughter a bogus job so that she would be financially supported during her bachelor's degree in Berlin. The now thirty-five year old did not work for the AWO,Until the end of December 2019, however, he still received a net salary of around 53,100 euros. Everyone involved was aware that the woman should not work for the AWO. The AWO suffered damage totaling 105,000 euros. The daughter is accused of aiding and abetting serious infidelity, the former managing director will continue to be investigated separately. The Wiesbaden District Court must now decide whether it will allow the indictment.The Wiesbaden District Court must now decide whether it will allow the indictment.The Wiesbaden District Court must now decide whether it will allow the indictment.
The calls sound martial, but come from a long look back: "Factories are turned into barracks" is written on the leaflet from Frankfurt, entrepreneurs, it says, are converting laboratories and spare parts stores into sleeping quarters for strikebreakers. "First break-ins on the employers' front" cheers another leaflet from the Hessian chemical union. A third one simply says: “Solidarize! March along! ”Exactly fifty years ago, such and similar appeals circulated among workers in the chemical industry. The reason was a four-week strike for higher wages, with plant blockades, police operations, and production stoppages. In the end, the Chancellery and a federal social judge had to mediate. But there has not been a major strike in the chemical industry since 1971,even the oldest works council members have never seen him again. An eternal peace that would be unthinkable with the railways, with auto suppliers or in the public service. In this case too, Falk Heunemann took a closer look at the reasons for this.
And in addition, the trade tax income of the city of Frankfurt has recovered again after a sharp decline due to Corona +++ strangers near the Jewish community center in the Westend put up notes with swastikas on the night from Monday to Tuesday +++ a man was naked on Monday on the way to the clock tower in Bornheim.
