Stuttgart is looking for a new mayor.

CDU politician Frank Nopper is one of the candidates.

He wants to give the state capital a new image.

Stuttgart - The

state capital

Stuttgart * will elect a new

mayor

on November 8, 2020

.

The

office of

the Lord Mayor is central to

politics in Stuttgart *

.

The mayor is the head of the

city ​​administration

and chairman of the

municipal council

.

Since 2013

Fritz Kuhn has

been the first

politician of

the

Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen party

in this office.

His term of office ends in 2021, which is why the

elections are

now taking place on a regular basis.

Most recently,

Winfried Kretschmann

had agreed to take in more refugees from Moria in Baden-Württemberg than required by the federal government (BW24 * reported).

The

Lord Mayor

of

Stuttgart, Fritz Kuhn,

had therefore announced that he would take in refugees in the

state capital

.

CDU politician Frank Nopper is one of

the

candidates

for the election of the new mayor, which will be announced on October 15

.

Frank Nopper

already gave first insights into what he would like to

change

in the

state capital

, should he be accepted as a

candidate

and win the

election

for

mayor

.

The

CDU politician is

obviously

particularly concerned with

the

image

of

Stuttgart

, which has recently suffered due to the riots in Stuttgart *.

“Our city deserves to shine more,” said Frank Nopper on Monday at the start of his election campaign in Stuttgart.

In the Stuttgart OB election poll, CDU candidate Frank Nopper is just ahead.

Second place is clearly contested.

The values ​​for still-OB Fritz Kuhn (Greens) are low.

If

Frank Nopper has his way

,

Stuttgart

must be

“the shining star of the German south”, at least on a par with

Munich

and

Frankfurt am Main

.

The

CDU politician is

particularly bothered by the impressions that have recently

emerged

from the

state capital

across Germany

.

"We have to move away from the 

image of 

the 

problem city

, from the image of the

forbidden city

, from the image of the

riot city,

" explained Frank Nopper.

He therefore wishes for a new

“Stuttgart feeling”

.

Frank Nopper is running for the mayor of Stuttgart without a party logo

The

office

of

Lord Mayor

is

not unknown to

Frank Nopper

.

He is currently Lord Mayor of

Backnang

in the

Rems-Murr district

.

Although he is the

CDU candidate

for

Stuttgart

, Frank Nopper relies on

personality

choices

and therefore campaigns without the party

logo

.

In addition to working on Stuttgart's image, the politician also gave insights into his further agenda on Monday.

Frank Nopper

wants to campaign

for 2,000 additional

apartments

per year

in

Stuttgart

and create a good atmosphere for

business

- but he has not yet revealed exactly how he intends to achieve these goals.

In addition, Frank Nopper also commented on the

traffic

situation

in Stuttgart and the Stuttgart 21 * rail project: He wants to achieve reconciliation among road users and complete the mega rail project as quickly as possible.
