Wetterau district (pm). State elections, district council elections and mayoral elections in Friedberg. The Greens have put forward candidates for all fall elections. At the start of their election campaign in the Bad Nauheim »FilmBühne«, the direct candidates Marcus Stadler (eastern district), Sabina Eberlein (northern district), Thomas Zebunke as district administrator candidate and Markus Fenske as mayoral candidate for Friedberg members and guests for the upcoming election campaign.
The member of parliament Kathrin Anders, who is running for the south of Wetterau, was unable to attend due to illness.
The main topic of the Greens: climate change. “Not least when you look at our dry Wetterau soil, it becomes clear that the result of the elections in autumn will also decide how much we will invest in preserving our environment in the years to come,” said Stadler. As an environmental consultant and member of the district and city parliament in Nidda, he deals with this “burning issue” every day.
Eberlein is a computer scientist, economist and city councilor in Bad Vilbel. She is worried: »Climate changes are dramatic, we can feel that every day. And yet individual parties are still blocking quick action and effective measures for climate protection.« For example, the speed limit could be implemented immediately. It is annoying that some municipalities show no ambitions to develop climate protection plans. Eberlein: “All responsible politicians now have the task of actively contributing to climate protection and not delaying it further.” Hesse’s Greens, for example, want to support the economy on the way to climate neutrality with a climate and transformation fund worth six billion euros.
Good solutions are also urgently needed when it comes to the shortage of skilled workers, educational equity, racism, care, mobility, soil protection and security. »We do not close our eyes to grievances, both small and large. We don’t stay out, we get involved. We encourage and show that together we can make things happen. That is by no means possible everywhere in the world,” said Zebunke, who studied agricultural engineering and is also spokesman for the Greens in the Wetterau district and a member of the parliamentary group in the district council and in Friedberg.
Markus Fenske is involved at the local level. The lawyer asks the people of Friedberg to vote for the office of mayor. The parliamentary group leader of the Greens in Friedberg wants to ensure an economically strong district town with a high quality of life.
Change requires the will to tackle things together. To underline this, the election campaign kicked off with the documentary Who Owns My Village?, a film about the nature of democracy and the power of the individual. Using his home town as an example, director Christoph Eder shows »that nowhere else is political participation as immediate as in local politics«. Finally, the party leadership called on all members of the district association to work in the coming months for a strong Hesse with Tarek Al-Wazir as prime minister.
