Good evening,


there was a lot of discussion in front of the polling stations in Hesse, it was clear there

that they were not satisfied with the candidates for the Chancellery, even on the Rhine and Main

.

In the end it was almost a tie between the SPD and the CDU, which is a good reflection of the indecision.

And otherwise?

The Greens politician Omid Nouripour has, at least that is how it looked late in the evening, won the direct mandate in the Frankfurt constituency 183

- and thus achieved what even Joschka Fischer had never managed for the Greens.

And even if numerous direct mandates in Hesse have gone from the CDU to the SPD, the voters have given

a strong hand especially to the Greens and the FDP

, who can now consider whether the future Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) or Armin Laschet (CDU) should be called.

That is interesting.

Because even the coalition that was negotiated in the Frankfurt Römer in spring would not work without a new closeness of the Greens and the FDP.

It is quite possible that the suspicion

that younger voters in particular could be represented very well in their opinion by such a coalition is confirmed

. If one assumes that there is a substantive connection between climate protection and digitization, even voters surprised by such an observation may become more aware of future politics.

One thing

is clear:

you can only experience the right atmosphere when you vote at the polling station

. Alexander Jürgs and Helmut Fricke had a look around there on election day. We learn: The most important man in a polling station is the election officer. At polling station 680/02 this is Markus Graff. The fifty-five-year-old, light blue suit, elegant tie in burgundy red, hair cut short, has long been active in local politics. Graff is deputy chairman of the CDU in Bergen-Enkheim and city district chairman. He also has a lot of experience when it comes to organizing elections.

His first assignment as an election worker was in the state elections in 1987.

Since then, there has hardly been an election that he has not participated in. “Maybe once or twice” Graff has been on vacation since his election worker debut when there was a vote. But otherwise you could always count on him. And that, says the local politician, is what matters in elections. How true, at this point I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to everyone who ensured that the election in Hessen went so smoothly on this day and night.

We know from Berlin that this cannot be taken for granted.

In addition

, a 29-year-old man was hit by a tram on Hanauer Landstrasse, but survived the collision with minor injuries;

During the large-scale exercise "Frankopia", the Maltese, fire brigade and THW rehearsed the emergency - under the most realistic conditions possible;

The number of warnings about contaminated food is increasing every year.

Have a good new week,
