New Year's reception in Taufkirchen: everyone feels green again. Mayor Ullrich Sander and Deputy District Administrator Christoph Nadler shake hands in a conciliatory manner.

Sander initially did not invite Nadler because of an argument. “I think it’s good that German citizens are standing together and demonstrating,” said Sander. ‘I’m also glad that things aren’t as bad here as in France,’ he said.
