Wolfratshausen - The "Wolfratshausen Citizens' Initiative for Protection against Electrosmog", which recently met for the annual general meeting in the sports center of the Isar-Loisach Stadium, warns of harmful cell phone radiation.
In addition to new elections, the preparation for an information event on September 28th was also on the agenda.
"Speakers from both sides will ensure that everyone can form a balanced judgment on this controversial topic," promised Dr.
Hans Schmidt.
A year ago, the chairman of the “Wolfratshausen Citizens 'Initiative to Protect Against Electrosmog” presented Mayor Klaus Heilinglechner with a list with the signatures of 480 citizens who wanted an extraordinary citizens' meeting on the subject of “mobile communications and 5G” to be called.
The town hall chief refused, but suggested an information event with the same items on the agenda as a replacement.
Schmidt pointed out that, according to a survey by the industry association Bitkom, almost half of Germans are critical of the expansion of mobile communications and fear negative health consequences.
In his function as environmental officer, Schmidt then wants to submit an application to a city council meeting in order to motivate the city to carry out "preventive measures" and activities.
Hurry
As an example, he cited the creation of fiber optic networks as the basis for low-radiation cell phone coverage and the expansion of radio-free areas.
According to the spokesman for the citizens' initiative, speed is of the essence, because in Wolfratshausen, a new mobile communications standard was introduced by Telekom virtually overnight, so to speak.
"And that although the federal government had promised that the population should be given detailed information beforehand," says Schmidt annoyed.
After his lecture, the five members who appeared re-elected them by acclamation as the first speaker of the citizens' initiative.
Schmidt receives support from the new second chairman Reinhold Balthasar, who takes over the position of the deceased board member Ernst Hölzl.
Manfred Zeif takes over the office of treasurer.
Schmidt also made the 88-year-old Werner Fiedler an honorary member.
