Then a hand landed on my breast. I was was shocked,” said RTBF journalist Esmeralda Labye, describing the incident the incident that took place in the Alter Markt district of town. The chances of the two men being caught are high - the whole incident was caught on camera and police are now investigating, Cologne newspaper Express reports. The city of Cologne has apologized to Labye. First day passes peacefully Police reported that Thursday, the first day of Karneval, passed remarkably smoothly, saying that here had been notably less crimes reported than in previous years. On the other hand police note that terrible weather contributed to a poor turnout for Weiberfastnacht. Police were out in force to ensure security after police were criticized for their lack of presence during mass sexual assaults in the city over New Year. A total of 2,000 officers were patrolling the streets, double the number in 2014. Six acts of sexual assault were reported to police, which involved women being groped or verbally attacked. Police made 21 arrests. http://www.thelocal.de/20160205/journalist-groped-in-cologne-on-live-television ---------------------------------------- COMMENT Unbelievable.  And all we can do is watch in horror. Weiberfastnacht is 'Fat Tuesday,' an unofficial holiday in Rhineland.   Traditional Catholic feast associated with carnival - here. Began 1824.  Ritual take-over of town halls by women.  Men's ties cut.  Kiss as compensation. Strange custom.  But I'm all for the donuts.  ;) Alter Markt translates to 'Old Marketplace'.
