District - There is a general election on September 26th.
The yellow sheet introduces all candidates from the constituency.
Today: Jan-Philipp van Olfen (ÖDP).
We gave him seven topics.
Here are his answers:
The highways and federal highways in the constituency are important transit routes.
Nevertheless, residents need ...
... no more roads.
The situation will only improve if there is a significant reduction in individual traffic.
This is possible through the rapid expansion of cycle paths and the expansion of public transport.
Freight traffic should also be shifted to rail.
The traffic turnaround is currently a big issue in the Oberland and nationwide.
In the areas of public transport and cycling, there is an urgent need ...
... to be massively expanded.
The ÖDP calls for the budget to be doubled for the expansion of local public transport and investments in the rail network.
Cycle lanes have to be expanded according to the Copenhagen model.
Climate protection is also currently playing a major role, but it often starts with the small things.
In the Oberland as well as at the federal level ...
... climate protection have the highest priority.
To comply with the 1.5-degree upper limit, you need: 100 percent renewable energies by 2030 and the phase-out of coal in the next five years;
Mobility transition in favor of bicycles and trains as well as a reduction in car traffic by at least 50 percent by 2035;
a rising CO2 price, which is distributed as a per capita climate dividend like a basic income;
Promotion of small-scale agriculture and the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere with environmentally friendly methods, above all through healthy soils and humus build-up and turning away from the growth dogma of the economy towards an economic form within the framework of limited resources.
The number of day trippers in the Oberland has risen again with the corona pandemic.
In the interests of the locals and guests, it is essential that ...
... the Munich metropolitan region will stop growing, and incentives will be created for people and companies to settle in northern Bavaria.
This is the only way to sustainably relax the number of day trippers.
In addition, there is a need for more recreational areas close to home and an expansion of the nature reserves.
Real estate prices and rents have also skyrocketed due to the corona pandemic.
In the future, the average citizen will only be able to afford living space in the Oberland if ...
... the tax on second homes is rising, cooperative building and living are being promoted in a targeted manner, more social housing is being built and the Oberland business location is not growing any further.
New companies should be given incentives to settle in the north and east in order to prevent further immigration.
There are several district clinics in the constituency.
In order to make municipal hospitals future-proof, it takes ...
... a departure from profit orientation.
The three hospitals and their extensive range of services must be retained and, if necessary, be transferred back to municipal hands.
The corona pandemic has also highlighted the nursing emergency in Germany more clearly.
The situation will only improve if ...
... the attractiveness of the care professions is increased, for example through a gross salary of at least 4,000 euros per month, and care work in the private sector is remunerated by the state with a salary subject to social insurance.
