Thomas Eichinger: New chairman of the social committee elected!

A new star in the sky of German local politics! At the most recent meeting of the Social Committee of the German District Council in Leipzig, Thomas Eichinger, the district administrator of the district of Landsberg am Lech, was elected new chairman. Eichinger takes over the scepter from Dr. Achim Brötel, who is now President of the German District Council after seven years. A change that could bring a breath of fresh air to the challenges of social security!

Eichinger was enthusiastic about his new responsibility and emphasized the enormous challenges that came to the German counties. "In times of empty coffers, we face huge challenges for the municipalities," he said. The two -day session devoted itself to burning topics such as citizens' money and migration, which heavily burden municipal households. "We have to get sustainable reforms in the financing of these areas," continued Eichinger. A clear call for action!

The session also dealt with the integration of refugees into the labor market, the plans for basic child protection and new legal projects in the area of care and legal support. Eichinger sees his choice as a continuation of his work at the national level and emphasizes the cooperation between the country representatives as crucial for strengthening local social policy. "We need the courage to prioritize and have to say clearly what is no longer affordable," he added. A clear appeal to those responsible to set the course for a sustainable social policy!
