Ggood evening,
a shame actually. At first glance, the color combination of the “V-traffic light” looked quite similar to the flag of Mauritius, but on closer inspection it didn’t. Be that as it may, a chic, exotic adaptation will certainly still be found if this alliance actually comes together in the Frankfurt Römer. Because this is far from settledalthough the Greens, as the new strong force in the Romans, spread confidence. On Friday evening they take an oath if they District members meeting votes on the ideato enter into coalition negotiations with the SPD, FDP and Volt (hence the “V” in front of the traffic light). Mechthild Harting writes in her comment, The Frankfurt Greens in particular have years of experience in including the grassroots and to have their say and still be a reliable partner in coalitions in the Romans.

The CDU, the big loser of the probing because it has been booted out as a long-term partner of the Greens in Frankfurt, is meanwhile fluctuating in its mood between “disappointed” and “aggressive”. The hope of the Union now rests primarily on the bourgeois circles of the FDP. This Junior partner of “Ampel plus” faces the vote of his district executive on Monday, later the members of the Liberals are also to be heard. And the SPD? Silence wherever you ask. Sometimes instead of answers there are attempts to talk about Apple wine or FC St. Pauli to speak. Otherwise, the comrades stick firmly to “no comment” until the OB office. You can understand. The SPD was actually out on the evening of the election when a government majority for the supposed black-green partnership seemed to be emerging. Now everything should be avoided that could destroy the unexpected chance to continue with a flippant remark.
The editors of the Rhein-Main-Zeitung have compiled all of these reactions, sensitivities and strategic considerations. And we show a gallery of the previous magistrate, which should no longer exist in this composition in a few weeks. But, as I said, there is a warning against jumping to conclusions: the continuation of the previous coalition is by no means just a theoretical option.
As bitter as it is, every day in which political activity in a city like Frankfurt is idle or at least paralyzed can have dire consequences. Corona does not give up, takes no account of elections and their consequences. The incidence of the city is now over 150 again, nationwide there are already 166 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants within a week. It is all the more important that the vaccination finally makes headway. Monika Ganster asked the Ministry of the Interior how it intends to react to the large number of missed appointments for the Astra-Zeneca vaccine. With a triad: replacement lists, special dates and deliberate overbooking in the centers are intended to remedy the problem. After all, hundreds of thousands, who would actually have their turn according to the priority list, are waiting for an appointment.
