Mannheim city council invites you to a bizarre nudist swinger trip in August

In Mannheim, an unusual proposal causes a stir: The city councilor Julien Ferrat from the voter association "Die Mannheimer" has launched a political educational trip to Cap d’Agde. This trip planned for August is aimed at interested parties who want to get to know both the nudist and swinger culture. This emerges from a contribution in the Mannheim Official Journal, the publicitus and for its illustration Ferrat posed naked on the beach, whereby he is only covered with a sign "The Mannheimer in the local council". The Staatsanzeiger reports that the invitation from the media and the local press is considered a PR success for Ferrat.

"unforgettable nudist swinger vacation" the city council names its event and describes it as a trip with an "interesting political program". Ferrat emphasizes that the travel expenses have to be borne by each participant, and the participants can look forward to visits to beaches, swinger clubs and political discussions with representatives of tourist offices, the city administration and hoteliers. In the invitation, he points out that state tourism funding has contributed to the development of the renowned nudist location. For Ferrat, politics and lifestyle are tied up here, which enables him to have a different kind of educational trip than is usually offered. SWR continues to report that Ferrat, a single city council and student social scientist, is seriously accompanying this invitation to contact him directly by email.

The reactions on Ferrat's invitation are split. While many praise the creative idea, the city council CDU expresses massive criticism. Christian Hötting from the CDU described the campaign as "brain burned" and suggests that it could be harmful to the political landscape. emphasizes that such critical voices come from the political opposition, which tries to make the public image of Ferrats To cloud Initiative.

The city administration, on the other hand, shows neutral on the subject, since it emphasizes that the Official Journal is subject to the principles of party political neutrality. At the same time, however, compliance with the editorial statute is also checked, especially since Mannheim is not located on a Mediterranean beach and such an educational trip could be questioned. Nevertheless, the city administration has determined that the contribution corresponds to the rules of the editorial statute.

an example from Freiburg

an incident in Freiburg serves as a comparison, where the AfD was rejected a contribution on foreign crime, since it did not correspond to the editorial statute. This shows that the discussion about the content of official sheets is not only in Mannheim, but also in other cities. Professor Volker Haug, an expert in public law, explains that there is a clear regulation for the publication of official sheets, but there is no mandatory claim to the publication of certain contributions.

It is particularly noticeable that Ferrat has already drawn attention naked in the Official Journal, for example through the idea of ​​his person and through a tavern that he offered. In view of this, the question arises: Are such actions a new form of political communication or just another step into the absurd? One thing is certain: the Mannheim city council not only caused a conversation with its invitation in Mannheim, but also beyond. While the waves go up in politics, it remains to be seen what will really become from Ferrat's travel idea.
