The CSU remains with it: In contrast to other parties, it will not position itself in the run-up to the referendum on the planned wind turbines in the Ebersberger Forest and will not give any voting recommendations.
District - "The opinion of the citizens counts!", Said CSU district chief Thomas Huber after a digital meeting of the district executive committee. According to the party, the CSU executive committee unanimously followed Huber's suggestion that eligible voters participate in the to motivate the district-wide vote and to start a broad information and awareness-raising campaign about the pros and cons.
Huber: "We said before the election that we would let the citizens decide on this issue and we will keep this promise even after the election,
There are supporters and opponents in the CSU
Also within the CSU there are supporters and opponents of wind power and among the supporters there are also opponents of wind turbines in the Ebersberg Forest.
That is why the CSU, in contrast to the SPD and the Greens, will not make a general recommendation for voting behavior.
The SPD and the Greens had spoken out in favor of building the wind turbines.
In its 2020 district council and district council election campaign, the CSU took the following position: “We advocate and support district-wide concentration area planning for the municipalities, if they want that.
The city and municipal councils must decide whether they want to participate in a district-wide concentration area planning, with the inclusion of the citizens can deviate from the legally regulated 10H distance regulation.
If there is willingness to do so, the district will provide coordinating support.
The planned wind farm in the Ebersberger Forst has supporters and critics.
The Ebersberger Forest is very important to all of us, climate protectors and nature conservationists.
The citizens should have the last word! "
CSU / FDP parliamentary group mostly for wind turbines in the forest
According to Huber, the majority of the CSU / FDP parliamentary group in the Ebersberg district assembly is of the opinion that the five wind turbines in the forest are necessary to achieve the goal of making the district climate-neutral by 2030.
Therefore, in January 2020, the parliamentary group participated with a large majority in the decision of the district council, which "after weighing all aspects in favor of the implementation of up to five wind turbines in the Ebersberger Forest".
At the same time, however, it was also decided that this decision would be subject to the approval of the population (as part of a referendum).
That is why the citizens now have the last word, says Thomas Huber.
