It took two days until the seats in the city council were clear. After some technical turbulence, she was certain early Tuesday evening.
Erding - It took two days until the distribution of seats in the city council was clear. After some technical turbulence, she was certain early Tuesday evening. Nine parties / groups, 15 newcomers, eight women: these are the first parameters of the new 40-member body.
The CSU (-4) and the SPD (-2) had to drop their seats. Nevertheless, with 13 seats, the CSU remains by far the strongest faction. The Greens catapulted themselves into second place. They have doubled their seats to six. "I never dared hope in my dreams," says Helga Stieglmeier. It received the most green votes. What she is particularly pleased about is the equal number of three women and three men. She regrets the poor quota for women on the panel itself - only eight out of 40.
Greens and Erding Now celebrate election success
In addition to Stieglmeier and the proven city councilor Herbert Maier new to the Greens are Cornelia Ermeier, Gerhard Ippisch and Stefan Lorenz. So far, Lorenz has sat on the board of the Pirate Party and - like Ippisch - had run as a non-party candidate on the Greens list.
Erding Jetzt (EDJ) is also happy. "We are satisfied," said faction leader Hans Egger about the five seats (+1). Next to him, the previous EDJ councilors Harry Seeholzer and Hans Balbach made it back. List leaders Thomas Schmidbauer and David Ritter have also been elected. Egger rated the one seat more for his faction as a success, also in view of the growth for the Greens and the entry of the AfD.
Hans Egger: "A few fewer eggplants"
In general, the goal that Erding had now put on the internet with the explanatory video for "GemüsErding" had been achieved: "We managed to reduce the number of eggplants by a few." This means the CSU. Egger also hopes that the run-off election for the mayor's office between Max Gotz (CSU) and Petra Bauernfeind (FWE) on March 29 will have a lot to do with future city council work. he said with regard to incumbent Gotz.
The disappointment on election Sunday has not yet evaporated at the CSU. The outgoing faction leader Jakob Mittermeier, who ended his local political engagement after 48 years, also explains in view of the loss of four city council mandates: "We were convinced that we had pursued a policy that existed before the voters." The town hall tunnel "likes a certain one." Played a role, ”admits Mittermeier. It was not so happy. CSU councilors Christian Numberger, Hermann Schießl and Siegi Ippisch no longer made it into the city council. Elisabeth Mitr and Josef Biller, like Mittermeier, no longer stood for election.
A completely new SPD
The 80-year-old criticizes Erding Now for an online video from 2017 about the then controversial logistics hall in Erding-West. The video was shown online again shortly before the election this year. The hall has long been a thing of the past, says Mittermeier. "It was not worked properly. But maybe we didn't do enough about it. ”
Horst Schmidt is also disappointed. The SPD faction leader quit after 18 years in the city council. With Alexander Gutwill, Stefan Grabrucker and Carina Bischke, the SPD has three new and younger faces on the committee, but two less than before. "Of course that annoys me. We made a good and strong personnel offer. ”Schmidt cannot fully explain the weak performance of his party. "But you have to accept it and start over." Now the faction must find each other. As is well known, all five city councilors stop at the SPD. In addition to Schmidt, senior advisers are Jutta Harrer, Hans Schmidmayer, Willi Scheib and Tülin Güvenc-Mecilioglu.
Petra Bauernfeind is delighted by the colorful composition
Petra Bauernfeind, spokeswoman for the Free Voters Erding (FWE), considers the performance of her group to be "quite a good result". "We were able to stabilize, even though the Greens have grown and the AfD is in there," she says of the six city council seats that the FWE defended. Bauernfeind is the only FWE woman on the committee. Johanna Heindl was no longer competing. FWE Chairman Benedikt Hoigt is a new member of the board. Bauernfeind finds the colorful city council composition of nine groups very nice: "There are many compromises."
AfD district chairman Wolfgang Kellermann is also satisfied with the three seats for his party. He was a member of the city council as a Republican. SPD City Councilor Stefan Grabrucker has also changed the fronts, so to speak. He was an ÖDP city council member before.
