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.
