Yellow card for "gross foul": Wartenberger SPD and Greens are angry about the CSU application

"That is really bad style, not a trustful cooperation," ranted the Wartenberg SPD market councilor Michael Paulini. He showed the CSU the yellow card for the application it had submitted on its own. From an emotional debate in the market council.


"That is really bad style, not a trustful cooperation," ranted the Wartenberg SPD market councilor Michael Paulini.

He showed the CSU the yellow card for the application it had submitted on its own.

From an emotional debate in the market council.

Wartenberg - Even before Bayern's Champions League gala against Atlético Madrid, the Wartenberg market council was in a football mood at its meeting on Wednesday.

Some councils clashed verbally and handed out imaginary yellow cards.

The trigger was an application by the CSU for the further expansion of photovoltaic systems in the municipality.

This received only one vote against, but powerful criticism.

With the application, which was only signed by the CSU, had the CSU put a topic on its own agenda that other parties also wanted to promote?

The market council has three environment and climate representatives.

The CSU, Markus Straßberger, presented the application - not exactly to the enthusiasm of his fellow speakers Dominik Rutz (Greens) and Michael Paulini (SPD).

It was a good thing that the motion was going in the direction in which the Greens had argued, said Rutz.

“But it was said that the environmental officers sit down beforehand.

Now comes a party proposal.

This is not good."

Paulini became even clearer.

"There is a CSU chairman sitting there, listening and sharpening his pencil," he said, referring to the closed meeting of the market council the weekend before, in which all but two councilors had participated.

"That is really bad style, not a trustful collaboration," ranted Paulini.

He spoke of a gross foul by the CSU and metaphorically showed her the yellow card.

"For you too," he said to Straßberger, whom he warned separately.

Mayor Christian Pröbst, himself known as CSU, was “very surprised that yellow cards are now being thrown around”.

At the closed meeting “everything was discussed nicely”.

Therefore, the community chief showed the yellow card back towards Paulini.

In the application signed by local chairman Straßberger and parliamentary group leader Franz Gerstner, the CSU calls for all roofs of the municipal buildings to be equipped with PV modules - as far as technically possible.

"In addition, electricity storage should be used wherever this is advantageous for economic reasons." This applies in particular to the sewage treatment plant, where it should be checked whether open spaces on the property are also suitable for PV systems.

In addition, the party proposes the organization of a citizens' forum and a free potential analysis for citizens and businesses.

The community should face its responsibility for the climate.

"In terms of content, there is nothing to be changed about the proposal," said Martina Scheyhing (Greens).

According to her, the whole thing should have been party-neutral.

It smacks of the “greenwashing” that the CSU does from time to time.

No populism please! "

With this remark, Pröbst noticeably upset her.

He wanted relevant information, but not populism, he criticized.

Nikolaus Hintermaier (FDP) then clearly sided with the critics and said: "The application will not work again."

"In the hustle and bustle of a game," Straßberger stayed in football jargon, there could be different views.

He tried to appease: "Maybe you would need video evidence."

In the end, however, the content was convincing, despite all animosity.

Except for Scheyhing, everyone voted for it.

In the recent past, by the way, this is already the second CSU application that has come across a bit angry.

At the beginning of September, the CSU, which provides nine out of 20 councilors plus the mayor, prevailed with its application to introduce a health working group.

Thereupon, however, the Greens spoke up in a letter to the editor in our newspaper.

They were "a bit surprised because we had already proposed the establishment of a working group at the market town council meeting in July," it said (we reported).
