Malchin says no to the solar park: a dispute over agriculture and area!

Malchin, Deutschland - The Malchin city council decided and rejected the planned construction project of a solar park in and around the city. The decision was made on Wednesday evening with votes from the CDU, AfD and other factions. Mayor Axel Müller (CDU) explained that this was not predictable and that the rejection was surprisingly. The solar park was intended as a 1,360 hectare agri PV system, which should also enable agricultural use by producing solar energy. But the AfD warned of the negative effects on agriculture in the region and vehemently campaigned against the project, such as ndr.de reported.

Important budget resolutions and controversial applications

At the same session, the budget for the current year was also advised, which is of central importance for Malchin. In a surprising move, the AfD made five amendments to shorten funds that were planned for various projects, including the expense allowances for the city representatives. However, these cuts were rejected uniformly by the other political groups. Mayor Müller warned that such austerity measures could endanger the funding opportunities for important infrastructure projects, which could have serious consequences for the city, such as nordkurier.de reported. The budget was finally approved without further objections, while the AfD faction did not find the support it hoped for.

These developments skill lightly on the political tensions within the Malchin city council and the challenges in front of which the city administration is facing. With the upcoming local election, the political climate in the city could continue to change, which could also influence the future planning of such important projects.
