Free voters in turmoil: Dispute over parliamentary group status in Rhineland-Palatinate!

Stand: 16.11.2024 05:00 pm

drama in Rhineland-Palatinate! The free voters meet on Saturday in Geiselwind, Bavaria, for their federal party conference, and the disagreement in Rhineland-Palatinate is at the top of the agenda. Five district associations from Koblenz, Mayen-Koblenz, Birkenfeld, Bad Kreuznach and Mainz have submitted a explosive application. They demand that the federal chairman Hubert Aiwanger and Federal Secretary General Gregor Voth invite the six members of the state parliament of the Free Voters to an arbitration discussion. Goal? The restoration of the faction!

A faction has more rights and more money

The dispute has its roots in chaos from the beginning of October when two MPs left the group due to internal conflicts. Currently, the free voters in the state parliament only have the status of a group, which means that they receive around 600,000 euros less for their parliamentary work annually. In addition, they have to make do with less speaking time in the state parliament. An agreement could bring you back the fraction status - and with it the money and the rights you urgently need!

But that's not all! At the party congress, Aiwanger is nominated as the top candidate for the upcoming Bundestag election. There are also new elections of the board. With Joachim Streit and Manfred Petry, the Rhineland-Palatinate State Association has two deputy chairwoman who stand for re-election. Lisa-Marie Jeckel, member of the state parliament, is also applying for the office of youth policy spokeswoman on the federal executive board. An exciting day for the free voters is imminent!
