With a vegan buffet, music and discussions, the district Greens started the election campaign.
They call for more investment in public transport, wind and sun.
Königsdorf – At their traditional reception, this time in the Hochland youth settlement, district spokesmen Melanie Grünewald and Andreas Wild welcomed around 70 members and guests as well as politicians from all levels, above all Ludwig Hartmann, parliamentary group leader of the Greens in the Bavarian state parliament and directly elected constituency candidate for Munich-Mitte .
The Eurasburg direct candidate Jakob Koch and the Lenggrieser list candidate (38th place) Klaus Hanus want to join him in the state parliament.
Criticism of Minister of Transport Wissing: "does not really do his job"
Member of the Bundestag Karl Bär from Holzkirchen and district parliamentary candidate Marius Schlosser, who is also Bär's constituency employee, also discussed with the base.
Bär criticized Transport Minister Volker Wissing, who "does not really do his job".
He demanded that money and planning capacities freed up by decisions against new roads should be invested in rail infrastructure such as the S7 extension to Geretsried.
More money for the expansion of public transport
Jakob Koch would also like more funds for the expansion of local public transport.
In this case, the Free State should pay for the expansion of the bus network.
"We in the district are always faced with a huge mountain that we have to finance so that a bus can even drive," said the district and municipal council.
When asked about the “last generation” by the members, 27-year-old Marius Schlosser replied that there had always been protests and blockades against projects, for example against the reprocessing plant in Wackersdorf.
Today's activists acted out of desperation "because nothing is happening politically".
Klaus Hanus commented on the controversial, planned gas heating ban from 2024. The carpenter said that a modern wooden house consumes so little heat that you don't have to prescribe a wood heating system as well.
In the long run, the raw material also becomes expensive.
Koch took a stand on the Walchensee power plant.
He demanded that when the license for Uniper ended in 2030, the Free State and the public utilities of Bad Tölz and Munich should operate the plant together.
It was a big mistake to give the work into private hands in 1994.
Koch: “We now have the historic opportunity to correct this mistake.
It will cost us something, but the days of being discouraged are over.”
Freistaat has 11,000 roofs - only 500 are equipped with photovoltaics
In his introductory speech, Ludwig Hartmann addressed the question of whether rural areas could be a "game changer" for the energy transition.
His clear answer: yes.
But for this, the Free State must clear the way for wind and sun with appropriate laws.
The municipalities would have to push ahead with the construction of plants.
Hartmann lamented the "lack of vision" of the CSU.
An example: The Free State has 11,000 roofs.
Only 500 of them are equipped with photovoltaics.
Takeover of the Walchensee power plant an opportunity
Hartmann also sees the takeover of the Walchensee power plant as an opportunity.
On the one hand, the return would flow to the Free State and thus the population - instead of "any shareholders".
On the other hand, there would be the possibility of making the plant more ecological, from which the Isar and the smaller tributaries would benefit.
Hartmann also sees great potential for electromobility in rural areas, because it is easier here than in the big cities to charge vehicles with solar power from your own roof.

The Green calls on the economy in rural areas to make greater use of renewable energies.
On sunny days like the day of the spring reception, there is an oversupply of electricity that has to be used.
At the same time, of course, it is important to tackle the issue of storage.
It's not all easy, because Hartmann pointed out: "We're currently taking on the whole fossil lobby."
