In Eching, the green Bundestag candidate Leon Eckert started the election campaign comfortably.
But now he wants to kick himself tremendously.
On 3400 kilometers by bike.
Eching
- 65 days before the general election, Leon Eckert (26), Bundestag candidate of the Greens from Eching, started the election campaign: with live music from "Sound Screen", the party friends gathered on a shady spot in front of the community center, cool drinks and delicacies . The next few weeks will definitely not be as relaxed as the election campaign kick-off on Friday for Leon Eckert. He wants to - literally - struggle to win a Bundestag mandate for the Greens. He mainly starts his tour through constituency 214 (Freising / Pfaffenhofen) by bike, about 3400 kilometers in total.
When the church tower clock in St. Andreas struck 6 p.m., the music and speakers fell silent - in memory of the victims of the flood disaster.
"Climate protection is disaster protection", Johannes Becher had previously underlined.
The member of the state parliament from Moosburg turned in pithy words against government policy in the federal and state levels, against one of the “warm words, not of action”, against an “empty” Bavarian climate law and major projects in forest and moss.
He called for the final burial of the third runway at Munich Airport.
“We are the generation that can still change something!
Leon take over!
What Söder can't get together, you have to do now in Berlin - with speed and seriousness, ”said Becher.

Eckert: The time of nice talk and letting go is over
Climate protection, disaster control and mobility are Leon Eckert's main topics in the election campaign. They were there before the devastating flood hit the regions of Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia. Floods, droughts, snow chaos: "These extreme weather events will become more frequent due to climate change," warned Eckert. “Only if we change can we preserve our livelihoods.” That is why we now have to “roll up our sleeves” and promote climate protection and the mobility transition in solidarity. For example with new bus lines, a more “tactful” train, more bike paths and the promotion of new drive concepts. According to Eckert, the Greens' mobility program wants to “divert an extremely large amount of money into public transport in order to create alternatives”. “We had a policy of postponing for 16 years,” criticized Eckert.In his eyes, the Union parties are “representatives of fair talk, of letting go, of confessing yes-no-color”. Major projects such as the 3rd runway show that the status quo is being adhered to instead of rethinking and redirecting. Eckert spoke out in favor of promoting effective climate adaptation measures and “properly funding” disaster control. Don't build so close to the rivers anymore, don't seal them anymore.not seal any more.not seal any more.
Becher: Leon Eckert could actually do it
In 18th place Eckert was placed promisingly as a direct candidate, calculated Becher.
His rule of thumb: one mandate per percentage point.
“In current surveys, we are at 18.19 percent.
If it stays that way, Leon is inside, ”said Becher.
Eckert also sees his task in Berlin, if he makes it into the Bundestag, to give more weight to municipal issues at the federal level and to break the rigid legislative corset.
In order, as he said, to enable improvements “on site”, to give the municipalities more opportunities for change and innovation.
For example, when expanding cycle paths and designating 30 km / h zones.
