Frankfurt – The fear of another embarrassing appearance was probably too great: Lord Mayor Peter Feldmann (63, SPD) decided not to appear at the “Frankfurt meets Davos” reception at the World Economic Forum. For this he wants to explain himself in Romans.
In his place, Offenbach’s Mayor Felix Schwenke (42, SPD) of all people welcomed the 90 invited guests to the posh Hotel Alpengold.
Despite the overwhelming rejection, which he was now even receiving from his own party, the mayor could not be dissuaded from the trip to the meeting of global economic and political heavyweights in the noble Swiss mountain village: “It is important that the mayor of the largest city in Rhein-Main is present there.”
