Mayor Peter Feldmann (SPD) invites the consular corps with almost 200 people to a reception in the Kaisersaal on Sunday, October 9th - although the Roman coalition wants him to hold back on public appearances.

A day later, Feldmann receives the Frankfurt press representatives at the same place.

Both events take place every year.

A week later, on October 18, the head of the town hall has to answer for the first time in court on suspicion of accepting an advantage.

Feldmann is said to have initially planned to have the double reception take place in mid-July, but then postponed it.

At that time, the city parliament had decided to initiate the voting procedure.

"We cannot prevent that," said Green Party leader Dimitrios Bakakis about the mayor's planned appearances.

Giving such receptions is the right of the mayor.

However, Bakakis is convinced that this action "harms Frankfurt, hurts and hurts again."

Feldmann is currently on the road with a delegation from the regional location marketing team.

On this trip, he is "currently promoting Frankfurt Rhein-Main as a business location in Tel Aviv," as the city announced.
