Metzger-dispute ensures turmoil in Mainburg: citizens defend themselves!

in Mainburg, Bavaria, a dispute over the market stalls of two butchers ensures excitement: a termination of the stations of the Meier butcher's shop put the citizens into turmoil. According to Merkur , many citizens have complained to the mayor about the decision. The situation escalated when it became known that a stand was terminated due to a complaint from a competitor. The city's quick reaction triggered violent discussions both on the Internet and on site.

The Meier butcher shop offers its products at more affordable prices, while the other butcher shop, the Prößlbauer-Hofladen, sells organic products that are often more expensive. This difference in the price-performance ratio leads to a split opinion among the citizens. Mayor Helmut Fichtner, from the free voters, is also exposed to allegations of the nepotism, since the managing director of the competition is also in the city council. Fichtner rejected the allegations and explained that he wanted to rethink his decision due to the emotional feedback from the citizens and continue to operate both butchers.
