Today in Rhein-Main: When will Hinz express himself?

Good evening,

holidays, but no rest: so-called climate protectors were also annoying on Wednesday, the food scandal in southern Hesse has spread further and the left has been drawn deeper and deeper into the maelstrom of sexual assaults.

And we here on the fifth floor of our editorial building in Frankfurt's Gallusviertel had thought it would be difficult to fill the newspaper and website in the week after Easter.

No talk about it.

Manfred Koehler

Head of department of the Rhein-Main editorial team of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

Only annoying are the protests of a tiny group of people who, in whatever bizarre way, feel legitimate to paralyze the traffic in and around Frankfurt day after day.

There are likely to be a lot of employees in public administrations and companies who are struggling with how to gradually reduce the burden on the environment, there are practically no more companies and only a few authorities that are not involved in some way.

But we're getting up again.

In Frankfurt, people are used to the grief of demonstrations.

The district office of the Groß-Gerau district has been heavily on the defensive since the food scandal on a farm in Gernsheim became known.

Authorities admit the facility should have been inspected twice a year, but the last inspection took place two years ago.

The fact that people are walking in a circle in sackcloth and ashes is currently taking pressure off the responsible Hessian Minister Priska Hinz (Die Grünen).

But she also has to put up with questions.

Most recently, the state audit office had criticized the conditions in food monitoring.

The question is allowed as to why Hinz hasn't gotten involved in these topics long before the press.

Further explanations are also expected from the left.

Interesting that of the two federal chairmen of the party, the one from Thuringia resigned on Tuesday.

After all, it's about incidents in the Hesse state association, which was led by the other federal chairman at the time.

What is there to say about all this?

“The nimbus of an emphatically feminist party, in which there is no place for any kind of gender oppression, has been damaged for years to come.

This also applies if it is 'only' about serious misconduct by individual officials.

The left will have to bear with this scandal for a long time, which is not yet clear in all the details.” So colleague Oliver Bock in the Rhein-Main-Zeitung.

And the cult musical "Rocky Horror Show" premiered in Frankfurt's Alte Oper +++ Managers can play with Lego and learn something at the same time - a report by Othmara Glas +++ is closing the 124-year-old Klippel umbrella shop in downtown Frankfurt, the owner refers, among other things, to the rigid transport policy of the city.

I wish you a pleasant evening

Yours, Manfred Koehler
