The election campaign in Moosburg is heating up: a Facebook debate has now escalated between the city councilors Evelin Altenbeck (Greens) and Rudolf Heinz (CSU).
Moosburg - Just a week ago, almost all Moosburg parties praised the fairness of the election campaign. Now this picture gets cracks: CSU City Councilor Rudolf Heinz turned outraged after Evelin Altenbeck (Greens) sharply criticized him for his runoff recommendation for Josef Dollinger (FW).
The exchange of blows began on Facebook: There, Heinz shared an election poster for Dollinger on Wednesday in his profile - which Altenbeck provided on Thursday with the following comment, among other things: “The new committee calls for diplomacy and the will to find compromises, no fuss! "And:" Do you realize what you are doing with it? "According to Heinz, the dispute continued in private Facebook messages, and the tone had become sharper - which prompted Heinz on Friday to address the public in a press release. Headline: "Without respect!"
Heinz about Altenbeck: "Polemics and absolutely below the belt"
"As usual and correct in a democracy", many Moosburg personalities made recommendations as to which candidate they support, says Heinz. He relies on Dollinger, especially in the current time and the coming years, when experience "to secure jobs and stabilize the economy" is necessary. The accusations from Altenbeck "had annoyed him immeasurably", he emphasized in an interview with the FT.

However, he condemned even more private messages in which Altenbeck accused him of indirectly supporting AfD man Welter with his election recommendation and whether nothing had been learned from the CSU in Thuringia. Heinz: "Constructing that I would court a right-wing extremist with the recommendation of a democrat is absolutely below the belt." Altenbeck repeatedly teased with polemical statements, "and that despite the fact that the Greens constantly demand fair treatment". There was no room for such a thing in the future city council.
Altenbeck about Heinz: "Behaves like a small child"
When asked about Heinz's criticism, Evelin Altenbeck is surprised: “Are you quoting from private messages? I expect private things to remain private. ”She called the public outreach“ silly ”and“ borderline ”, while Rudolf Heinz behaved“ like a small child ”. Apart from that, she stands by what she wrote. "I know that Josef Dollinger is not as diplomatic as he has been for three quarters of a year." It is not for nothing that there have been several quarrels among free voters in recent years. Altenbeck suspects that Dollinger was now coached before the election to moderate himself. The new city council was colorful, so it took Michael Stanglmaier's negotiating skills.
For a comparison with Thuringia, she said: If one forges a coalition against the Greens in the future majority relations, one has to rely on the vote of Gerhard-Michael Welter (AfD) for various votes. Addressed to Heinz, the longtime Green Councilor also said: “He, who is sitting in the glass house, shouldn't throw stones. I think it is very borderline where he voted in the past - for example the Rockermaier site. ”Ultimately, this was what Heinz's architectural firm partner Jürgen Pflüger had planned. "Heinz's assessment of the station building was not commissioned by the city council either. The committee only found out through a CSU event. ”For Evelin Altenbeck, one thing is certain:“ If you lean out of the window, you have to expect the wind to come. That also applies to Rudi Heinz. "
