Gregor Forster: The candidate who wants to conquer the Bundestag!

The political newcomer Gregor Forster, SPD candidate from Eschenbach, faces the challenge of winning a direct mandate in the Bundestag. During his campaign launch on St. Nicholas Day in Erbendorf, the 43-year-old presented himself in a combative manner and received enthusiastic approval from his party colleagues. Despite a positive start, however, he is confronted with difficult reality: the SPD is currently struggling in the polls in Germany and in the Weiden region a social democrat has never won a direct mandate. Forster is pursuing a strategy of personal contact: “Social media is important, but door-to-door campaigning is essential,” he explained and wants to convince citizens directly how oberpfalzecho.de reported.

Creative approaches in the election campaign

Forster has specific goals that he would like to tackle as a member of the Bundestag, including the implementation of innovative transport solutions and the expansion of electromobility. He pays particular attention to public transport in rural regions and sees the potential of autonomous buses. “We have to improve mobility for everyone in rural areas,” emphasized the father, who also calls for a clear strategy to combat the shortage of skilled workers. “Affordable housing and targeted immigration are crucial to securing our economic strength,” he added. These are central themes in his election campaign, which is deliberately “close to the people”.

In a different context, Udo F. Forster, a photographer from Dreieichenhain, dedicates himself to the winter idyll in his region. With his new photo book “Dreieichenhain im Winter” he wants to capture the silence and melancholy of the cold season and draw attention to the beautiful but also dreary aspects of a snowy life. Forster, who has lived in the region for 50 years, noted that such wintry scenarios may soon become a rarity. “The book could keep the memory of real winters alive,” says the artist. His black and white photographs have a special effect and highlight the contrasts of the winter landscapes op-online.de reported.
