Johannes Arlt says goodbye to the SPD state list: A courageous step!
Politician Johannes Arlt has taken a surprising step: he is foregoing a place on the SPD list for the upcoming federal election. How Strelitzius reported, Arlt, the directly elected representative for the Mecklenburg Lake District II - Rostock III constituency, who is a parliamentarian, was offered sixth place on the list. But this suggestion didn't suit him: "I don't agree with the state board's placement proposal," said Arlt, who would like to position his political ambitions more clearly.
The 40-year-old politician, who has been in the Bundestag since the 2021 federal election, has achieved impressive successes during his time in office, including raising 150 million euros for his constituency. Arlt made it clear that he was relying on the citizens' first vote in order to continue his political work and to avoid conflicts within the party. “Now the decision lies directly with the citizens,” he explained, emphasizing the importance of transparent and results-oriented policies.
