Haar

- The SPD and the Greens responded to the CSU's petition on the station kiosk with harsh criticism.

You accuse Mayor Andreas Bukowski (CSU) of mixing party interests and administrative matters as CSU chairman and of undermining a local council resolution.

The CSU insists on using legitimate means of democratic opinion-forming processes.

The topic is too important to leave it with the veto of the local council from the end of March, justified CSU spokesman Dietrich Keymer the decision of his group on the morning after the meeting of the building committee.

An online petition and a signature campaign are to be used to obtain public opinion.

The lists have been available in local shops since Monday.

The CSU solicits support on the streets.

"Involving the public in the decision-making process is a perfectly legitimate means," said Keymer.

CSU: Want to get the public on board

In March, the local council rejected the offer of the railway to replace the kiosk with a new building with a narrow majority. The SPD and the Greens insist on a complete over-planning of the area. They rejected the DB proposal as half-baked. The most pressing problem, the sanitary facilities, has not been resolved. The building, which was planned as a simple square, did not arrive. The fact that the community should co-finance a “run-of-the-mill kiosk construction” is not acceptable for the SPD and the Greens. "Where else can you give a profit-oriented company like Deutsche Bahn 100,000 euros for an in-house kiosk," said Ulrike Olbrich (Greens).


Basically, we have long since agreed on hair. The south side of the station is to be redesigned. The so-called “three-star project” comprises an elevated commercial building with a bus station on the ground floor, commercial space on the upper floors and an underground car park. The fact that the railway reacted with its own proposal after Bukowski, councilor Peter Paul Ganzer (SPD) and Bundestag member Florian Hahn (CSU) had met with representatives of the railway and DB Station & Service was taken as a sign of heaven in the CSU. Even if the SPD and the Greens don't like the railroad's proposal, the CSU considers it legitimate to get the public on board. The FDP supports the move.


SPD parliamentary group vice-president Peter Schiessl accused Bukowski of undermining a clear decision retrospectively.

"Do we now have to expect that you get your way through a roundabout route?" There was not much left of earlier promises of a consensus policy by Bukowki, complained Schiessl: "On the contrary, you are tearing up old trenches!" Gantzer recommended his office to the mayor resign as CSU boss.

The problem of a conflict of interests would then not arise.
