Today in Rhein-Main: Feldmann under pressure

Good evening,

things are not going well for Peter Feldmann.

On Thursday, the public prosecutor's office announced that they would bring charges against the mayor (so far there had been no official confirmation) and gave further details of what they accuse the SPD politician of.

It is not just about the fact that he is said to have influenced the fact that his partner at the time got a well-paid job with the workers' welfare organization in 2015, but also about donations from this organization for his 2018 election campaign AWO tacitly agreed that in future he would take the interests of AWO Frankfurt into account in a benevolent manner," the statement said.

How the public prosecutor's office proves this must be shown in a trial, provided that the indictment is admitted by the court.

Colleague Anna-Sophia Lang indicates in her comment that this could be difficult.

In politics, including in his own party, the pressure is increasing: the SPD advised her own husband on Thursday to attend fewer public meetings.

This is what dismantling on installments looks like.

Far ahead is the CDU, which would like to see Feldmann voted out at the city council meeting on Thursday next week.

But she will hardly get a majority.

Feldmann has announced a statement for the next few days.

The good news is that the weather is supposed to stay nice all weekend.

The bad news is that the seven-day incidence, i.e. the number of confirmed new corona infections per 100,000 inhabitants, was 1455.8 again higher on Thursday than the day before.

The good news is that the risk of infection is lower outdoors than indoors.

So: go outside and enjoy spring!

The tip for the weekend

Sharing is all the rage right now.

Pan-Asian cuisine is a lot of fun at "Kokumy" in Frankfurt's Bahnhofsviertel.

In the simple restaurant, the operators rely on a convivial, family atmosphere, down-to-earth dishes - and on "sharing": Instead of classic plate dishes, many small dishes are served for communal consumption.

This not only works particularly well with Spanish tapas cuisine, but also with Asian dishes such as crispy fried chicken karaage, spicy Szechuan eggplant or pork belly skewers with whiskey soy sauce marinade.

"Kokumy", Kaiserstraße 55, Frankfurt, telephone 0 69 / 23 80 59 25, Internet www.kokumy.de.
