Hot Off the Press: Inquiry Committee Roasts Minister President Rhein Over Messari-Becker Debacle
Rhine region's top leader testifies in investigative committee hearing - Witness summon for Chancellor Rhein in U-Committee hearing
Get ready to pop some corn, folks! This Friday, it's showtime at the Hessian state parliament as their investigatory committee dives into the infamous Messari-Becker dismissal scandal. Buckle up, because we're about to dish all the tea on this wild ride.
Starting at 10:00 AM, they'll kick things off with a showdown featuring various heavy hitters, including the CDU's leading man himself, Minister President Boris Rhein. His time under the spotlight is set for 4:00 PM, but first things first—the chief of staff of the state chancellery, Benedikt Kuhn (3:00 PM), and a gaggle of state chancellery staffers will have their say. It's all about unraveling the tangled web of information flow within the state government.
So, what's this brouhaha all about, you ask? Well, let's take a brief trip down memory lane to July 2024. That's when Economics Minister Kaweh Mansoori (SPD) made some shocking news by giving the boot to his non-partisan state secretary, Lamia Messari-Becker, citing some serious skeletons in her personal closet. Gossips flew, whispering of unseemly conduct, but he remained tight-lipped on the juicy details.
Parent-Teacher Conference Drama
Things got even more heated when the Wiesbaden administrative court stepped in, claiming that Mansoori is accusing Messari-Becker of leaning on her fancy title to twist arms for a better grade for one of her darling daughters at a high school parent-teacher conference. Messari-Becker, a brilliant professor of building physics, clouds her involvement with claims of reputation damage and has enlisted the help of a band of gung-ho lawyers.
The first part of the inquiry on Friday morning will feature a rousing performance by employees of the Darmstadt city administration, who have been summoned as witnesses in the Messari-Becker versus Messari-Becker's neighbor's construction project soap opera.
And, of course, no intriguing political drama is complete without its headliner, and in this case, that's none other than our beloved Minister President, Boris Rhein.
