Because now Prorok has resigned her mandate – “for the three best reasons,” as she said in her last meeting. One of them, son Ferdinand, was sitting on her lap. The other two are her twins, who are expected to be born in December.
“We very much regret that Katharina Prorok is leaving – but the reason is a good one,” said CSU parliamentary group leader Roland Spingler. The other parties also gave a lot of praise for the 41-year-old, who was “a real asset”, according to Mayor Mindy Konwitschny (SPD).
