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

The political newcomer Gregor Forster, SPD candidate from Eschenbach, is faced with the challenge of winning the direct mandate in the Bundestag. During his campaign opening on St. Nicholas Day in Erbendorf, the 43-year-old presented himself combative and received enthusiastic approval from his party colleagues. Despite a positive start, however, he is faced with the difficult reality: the SPD has currently struggled with surveys in Germany and a social democrat has never won the direct mandate in the Weiden region. Forster follows a strategy of personal contact: "Social media are important, but the door-to-door election campaign is essential," he said and would like to convince the citizens directly, like Oberpfalzecho.de reported.

creative approaches in the election campaign

Forster has concrete goals that he would like to tackle as a member of the Bundestag, including the implementation of innovative traffic solutions and the expansion of electromobility. He pays special 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 family man, who also calls for a clear strategy against the shortage of skilled workers. "Affordable living space and targeted immigration are crucial to secure our economic strength," he added. These are central topics in his election campaign, which is deliberately "close to humans".

In a different context, Udo F. Forster, a photographer from Dreieichenhain, is devoted to the winter idyll in his region. With his new photo book "Dreieichenhain in Winter" he would like 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, noticed that such winter scenarios could soon become a rarity. "The book could keep the memory of real winter awake," said the artist. Its black and white photographs have a special effect and emphasize the contrasts of the winter landscapes, as op-online.de reported.
