Most parties have already nominated their state parliament candidates. We present these in a small series in the coming weeks and start today with the SPD candidate ralf pohl from theisenort (kreis kronach).
FT: what will be the main topics of your election campaign??
Ralf pohl: the central issue for our region is demographic change and its consequences. In the election campaign, the focus is therefore on concepts to increase the attractiveness of the counties of kronach and lichtenfels as business locations and places to live. What is important here is the provision of modern infrastructure. This includes, for example, educational facilities as well as leisure activities, broadband supply or transport connections. The cooperation of the business community with the upper franconian universities and the demand for a basis for existence also play a rough role. Furthermore, the financial resources of the municipalities are an important issue, as their investments make a decisive contribution to a good infrastructure and a high quality of life.
Keyword relocation of authorities – what can be achieved here for the district of kronach??
A relocation of authorities brought qualified and usually well-paid jobs to the county. The state government could thus provide an important impetus for the development of the region. The transfer was promised by the CSU before the last district council election, and the district also applied as a location; unfortunately, nothing has happened since then. We will of course keep this important demand.
