Mayor Kern: Don't be afraid of investigations - what now?

Mayor Kern: Don't be afraid of investigations - what now?

Ebsdorfergrund. Mayor Hanno Kern has finally escaped from the public prosecutor's field of fire after a police operation at the basic bath. He himself never believed in a crime and feels treated unfairly. "I don't understand why the police didn't believe me," explains Kern, who worked in Gießen before his political career as a police officer. The incident, which caused months of excitement, was presented by the press as "sensational" - but Kern sees itself as a victim of a "common case".

The waves hit up! Kern criticizes the police sharply for the delayed transfer of crucial information. While the result of his blood test was already available in September, the public prosecutor only reached it in November. "This is not acceptable!", The Mayor is outraged in a Facebook post. Political factions are split: the Greens demand more information and ask questions about the circumstances of the incident. "How can you happen to get past the swimming pool?" Asks Werner Meyer, the chairman of the Green Group.

CDU Ebsdorfergrund throws press "one-sidedness" before

The CDU, on the other hand, defends the presumption of innocence and criticizes the media for "one-sided" reporting. Thorsten Reinhardt, the chairman of the CDU parliamentary group, calls for a complete information and expects Kern to reveal further details on Thursday during a meeting of the municipal board. "Some red lines have been clearly exceeded," he warns. Kern himself has already indicated that he could check legal steps and speaks of a possible campaign against him.
