Bad Tölz - The panel discussion and lecture provided a lot of material for discussion in front of the cozy gathering of mayors, local politicians, entrepreneurs and officials in the Tölzer Kurhaus at the New Year's reception of the Economic Forum, IHK and Chamber of Crafts in the Kurhaus.
“A well-connected economy is the basis for growth in the district,” emphasized Renate Waßmer.
However, the chairwoman of the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen IHK regional committee largely held back from criticizing the current political framework.
There was no longer any sign of this reserve in a discussion moderated by Veronika Ahn-Tauchnitz, editorial director of Tölzer Kurier.
Affordable housing, energy transition and wage compensation
When asked about the lack of affordable housing, Chamber of Crafts President Franz
Reinhold Krämmel became clearer.
“We are going in circles,” said the WFO supervisory board chairman.
You cannot implement the energy transition, saving the world climate and the 35-hour week with full wage compensation at the same time.
“It's always just demands: I'm frankly fed up with them,” said Krämmel angrily.
District administrator questions the reduction in bureaucracy and administrative staff
District Administrator Josef Niedermaier questioned the reduction in bureaucracy and administrative staff sought by Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder.
First of all, it is important not to burden municipalities with more and more unnecessary tasks.
“Only then can we manage with fewer staff,” hopes the district administrator.
Everyone agreed that young people need to be motivated by more incentives to take up a skilled trade.
“Many craftsmen want to work, but don’t want to spend hours filling out forms in the evenings,” said Franz Xaver Peteranderl.
IHK President criticizes the traffic light government
IHK President Klaus Josef Lutz then launched a sweeping attack against the traffic light government.
“The way things are going now, we won’t have success in the future,” he predicted.
In the style of a preacher strutting across the stage, Lutz articulated steep theses.
The current “feminist foreign policy” is doomed to failure.
For example, Minister Annalena Baerbock snubbed China's male-dominated government with her instructions.

When in doubt, we make a revolution and Reinhold Krämmel becomes our revolutionary leader.
IHK President Klaus Josef Lutz
At the end of his lecture, the 65-year-old even called for an uprising.
“If in doubt, we will make a revolution and Reinhold Krämmel will be our revolutionary leader,” he announced.
The applause for his lecture was rather quiet.
In the subsequent conversations, many guests at the New Year's reception were dismayed by the lawyer and business manager's overly simplified and insensitive analyses.
New Year's reception for the first time in the southern district instead of in the Krämmel Forum
Lutz also contradicted his initial statement.
“The IHK has to be neutral: our job is to advise politicians and not to take political positions,” he vowed.
In the end, however, the organizers of the Oberland Economic Forum, the IHK for Munich and Upper Bavaria and the Chamber of Crafts were overjoyed that a New Year's reception could take place in the southern district for the first time.
The significantly smaller Krämmel Forum in Wolfratshausen was almost overcrowded in previous years.
