Neubrandenburg in transition: Mayor steps back, new elections are coming up!

At today's meeting of the Neubrandenburg city council, an important chapter in local politics is opened. Mayor Silvio Witt, who is known as a non -party politician, has announced his resignation from May 31st next year, which causes excitement in the city. This decision follows a series of conflicts, including the notorious discussion about the rainbow flag that was removed in front of the train station. The city representatives are expected to confirm resignation as a matter of form. The choice of his successor is also the subject of the session, with a possible election date on May 11th, followed by a runoff election on May 25th to minimize the election costs, such as merkur.de reported .

24-hour hotline required

At the same time, the focus is on another application, which is brought in by the non -factioned councilor Tim Großmüller. He proposes to make the regulatory office available around the clock and to set up a 24-hour hotline. In his suggestions, Großmüller advocates an increased presence of the regulatory office at night and at so -called focal points in order to improve public security and recognize conflicts at an early stage. In his opinion, this could help to avoid acts of violence and to have the administration react more efficiently to symptoms such as disturbances href = "https://www.nordkurier.de/regional/neubrandenburg/ratsherr-grossmueller-will-praesenz-des--rund-um-die-uhr-3156913"> nordkurier.de .

Großmüller, who himself runs for the mayor election, has already discussed with controversial applications several times. His mood is clear: the citizens should also be able to feel safe in the evening. However, the town hall expressed concerns that additional employees would be necessary for the expansion of service times in the regulatory office, which could cause additional costs. Today's session, which begins at 3 p.m., therefore promises to be exciting.
