At the district Greens' New Year's reception, the top candidate for the European elections, a native of Schongau, also introduced herself.
There was an exchange with farmers beforehand.
Weilheim - Downstairs in the store preparations were underway for the Green Party's New Year's reception, on the first floor of the Biomichl two parties wanted to talk to each other: farmer and business representatives sat with the state parliament member Andreas Krahl and Andie Wörle, Bavaria's top candidate for the European elections, as well as the host Michael Sendl at a square table.
“We tried to unite the farmers so that not everyone does their own thing,” said Jürgen Fischer from Hohenfurch, board member of the district association of the Bavarian Farmers’ Association (BBV): “We wanted to sort things out in advance of the demo.”
As reported, this took place after the meeting and during the reception.
Discussion with farmers and entrepreneurs
Farmer officials, agricultural managers, the owner of an outpatient care service and a metal entrepreneur were able to describe their situation in detail to the two Green politicians and submit their demands in just under an hour and a half.
The consensus was that numerous problems arose not only under the current federal government: far too much bureaucracy, laws and regulations that ignore practice, and decisions that do not take the citizens along with them.
“I don’t care who screwed this up in the last ten years.
Now we need help,” said one participant.
People will continue to talk.
The numerous guests from politics, business and civil society at the New Year's reception also had good and relaxed conversations.
Undisturbed, even though the tractors were driving past outside - thanks to the soundproof windows in the health food store.
In his speech, state parliament politician Krahl called for a “reflection on what constitutes politics”.
Namely, to work for the people.
“The actual tasks of politicians take place in parliament,” said Krahl.
He accused Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger (Free Voters), who was more at demonstrations than in the office or in parliament, of “refusal to work”.
In addition, like Prime Minister Markus Söder, he incites people through numerous statements.
Candidate for the European elections introduces herself
Andie Wörle, who wants to be elected to the European Parliament on June 9th this year, also briefly discussed Deputy Prime Minister Aiwanger's administration: "If you don't feel like it anymore, Hubsi - we are ready." The Schongau native, who grew up on a small farm in Ostallgäu, emphasized the importance of cohesion in Europe.
“The election results in Poland show how powerful democrats can be when we stand together.” She was therefore pleased that there were guests at the New Year’s reception “who would otherwise not come to Green Party events.”
After a brief overview of the Greens' European election program, she ended the official part of the reception with the sentence: "Europe is the best idea Europe has ever had."
The farmers had also finished their tour in time for the opening of the buffet donated by Biomichl and the AfDers and lateral thinkers who were using the farmers' demonstration for their own purposes had left.
