The campaign motto of the Frankfurt royal couple Larry I. and Nadin I. caused quite a stir when it was announced on November 11th.

"Frankfurt's Fastnacht - shrill and fine and six-colored on top of that".

Six-colored is an allusion to the rainbow flag, the symbol of the international LGBTIQ movement.

It should be a sign of tolerance with regard to the four classic carnival colors of blue, white, red and yellow.

And at the beginning of the enthronement session of the Great Council on Friday evening in the Saalbau Titus Forum in the Northwest Center, Princess Nadin emphasized: "The colorful message is important to us, live freely, then you live properly".

And Prince Larry agrees: Rainbows could build bridges, "no harm, good for everyone".

There are rainbow flags on the tables everywhere in the hall, the stage is lined to the right and left with rainbow flags.

But just a few minutes after the dance of the Frankfurt Guard, the motto seems to have been forgotten.

A good 400 carnivalists came into the hall building.

Most are disguised, the loud babble of voices mixes with the swaying music.

Axel Heilmann, President of the Great Council of around 50 Frankfurt carnival clubs, opens the evening with a song about Frankfurt.

The scenery at the back of the stage, where the Roman can be seen, promises: today it's about politics.

Against gender, LGBTIQ and Greens

and thats the way it is.

Ralf Falkenstein, a well-known face of the carnival scene, jumps right in with his review of the past year.

"Mr. Scholz, who has long forgotten what he was elected for, it sounds presumptuous.

Like me, Ms. Baerbock is Ukraine's best minister.'

Even the Russian President Putin is envious of Germany: "How you can destroy a country so quickly and easily in a short time," rhymes Falkenstein.

It goes on against the "madness of gender", because it goes "on the transmitter", against the climate activists and the Greens.

"Male, female and diverse" is "normal for some, perverted for others".

People roar and cheer, some wave rainbow flags.

A contradiction that apparently nobody notices, where the foolish discussion of legitimate issues could be more subtle.

Instead, at Falkenstein's home, "Winnetou, there was a gypsy schnitzel.

Missed Russian vodka, ate a Negro kiss for dessert”.

After that, and that was the biggest provocation, he heard "Layla" on a continuous loop.

Falkenstein starts the song and the crowd sings along loudly.

He also talks about the Ahr Valley flood and pensioners who would have to go to the table because otherwise there would not be enough money.

And at the same time he read, "What a madness, flood aid money for Pakistan".

Falkenstein's conclusion: "Dear politicians, that's what I'm saying here, first of all help the people in front of your door".

Then he wrote poetry against the national team at the World Cup and the armband: “One love or rainbow, what kind of drugs are they all taking?

When playing for Germany, I would say black, red and gold are worn on the arm”.

Mayoral election campaign not an issue for fools

And while Council President Heilmann had said in November that he would advise every Fastnachter not to take on Peter Feldmann too cheaply, because he had always been a reliable partner for the Fastnacht clubs, this evening is also about him former mayor, whom Falkenstein compares to the climate activists because he was glued to his chair, like the latter to the street.

"He showed us, without any shit, what a real Babbsack is".

The following appearance of the "woman understander" Bernd Hude is also about Feldmann, who is now referred to as "Pattex-Peter".

Princess Nadin I, the "hot grenade", can be happy that she was not crowned until after the end of his term of office, "otherwise Peter would have stolen your crown," Hude rejoices.

Uwe Becker, the CDU candidate for mayor in the March 5 election, is also visiting the carnival crowd that evening.

Later, after a party appointment, SPD candidate Mike Josef also stops by.

However, the Fastnachters prefer not to deal with the mayoral election campaign.

The old men's joke prefers to work on victims who are less able to defend themselves.
