Good evening,

a wave of helpfulness has also gripped many people in the region, known and unknown

.

One of the well-known dancers is Motsi Mabuse, who is also involved in the subject with her family.

Meanwhile, Messe Frankfurt has announced that it will suspend its business with Russia, a large Renoir exhibition has opened in the Städel Museum and the Greens in the black-green coalition in Hesse want to support Boris Rhein as the successor to Prime Minister Volker Bouffier.

The overview at the end of the day.

With the partner:

As of Tuesday, the Greens in the Hessian black-green government coalition will vote for the current President of the State Parliament, Boris Rhein, to succeed Prime Minister Volker Bouffier (CDU), who will remain in office until the end of May.

"All MPs are keen to implement their content together with Boris Rhein," said Green Party leader Mathias Wagner.

For the new beginning, he varied Hermann Hesse's famous saying: "We want to make our contribution to a magical start." The 29 members of the eco-party had previously met with the chairman of the CDU parliamentary group, Ines Claus, and Rhein for a confidential conversation.

The CDU proposes the 50-year-old Rhein as the new head of government if Bouffier resigns before the end of his term.

He will stand for election in the state parliament on May 30th.

There, the black-green coalition has had a majority of one vote since the election in autumn 2018.

If Rhein is elected, he will be prime minister, but will have to face another vote with the CDU a little later in the state elections in Hesse, this time by the people.

In a commentary, FAZ editor Carsten Knop analyzes what he would have to do to be successful.

You read it in the Rhein-Main-Zeitung.

Before being thrown out:

Jörg Gerhard, co-managing director of the Eswe transport company in Wiesbaden, should go.

Traffic Director Andreas Kowol (Die Grünen), who is Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Eswe Verkehr, has submitted a proposal to the magistrate, according to which Gerhard should be dismissed because of the allegations against him and because of the ongoing internal and public prosecutor's investigations, properly terminated and immediately released.

Gerhard and his former co-managing director Hermann Zemlin are said to have unlawfully favored works councils.

This involves allowances, bonuses and classification in unjustified salary brackets.

In addition, a former employee of the CDU town hall faction without sufficient qualifications is said to have been "accommodated" at Eswe.

Within a year, he is said to have experienced a fairytale rise from project employee to non-tariff office manager with a monthly salary of 9,100 euros.

In this function he is said to have hired two other former CDU employees with good salaries.

Gerhard and the office manager are said to have obstructed the clarification of the actual facts.

There is even talk of data manipulation and the backdating of important documents.

Finally, the management is accused of eliminating “minus hours” of drivers through €540,000 worth of work not done during the pandemic.

After the invasion:

the dancer Motsi Mabuse and her husband collect for the war zone.

Mabuse, who was born in South Africa, lives in Kelkheim and runs a dance school there. She became known as a jury member on the TV show "Let's Dance".

For them, the war in Eastern Europe is very close.

Her husband Evgenij Voznyuk was born in Ukraine, and her parents-in-law live in the embattled country.

How the couple would like to help, what the city of Kelkheim says about it: Jan Schiefenhövel was there when the aid project, one of many in the region, was presented.

Money is not collected from this one either, in Ukraine there is almost nothing to buy at the moment.

It is about goods for coping with everyday life for those who have fled to the national borders, for example sleeping bags.
