Jena in change: Mayor warns of blame!

Jena, Deutschland - In a stirring Friday message, Jena Mayor Thomas Nitzsche addressed the dramatic changes in the political landscape of Germany. With the end of the traffic light coalition at the federal level, the political actors stand in front of a pile of broken glass, which leads to both allocations and heated debates about debt and social justice. Nitzsche calls on to question the underlying political concepts instead of blaming each other.

The tensions between the parties are unmistakable: On the one hand, the hard -boiled ones, which demand a strict debt brake, stand in order not to burden future generations. On the other hand, the supporters of a determined action that are also willing to accept debts in order to maintain social peace. "There is no simple solution," warns Nitzsche and appeals to the citizens to ask themselves whether they are willing to do without certain amenities or whether moderate debt is necessary.

Not only politics was the focus: Nitzsche also looks back on the significant events of the past week. Over 300 guests celebrated the feast for Martin in the town church, where volunteers served a delicious three-course menu. The galat dance evening in the Volkshaus became a hit, while the IWORK Business Award awarded three companies for their integration work. In addition, the five-year existence of the local UNICEF-AG was celebrated, and the Lithuanian ambassador visited Jena to talk about cooperation in the laser industry and digitization. A truly eventful weekly review that shows that there are also positive developments despite political turbulence.
