Conservative Democratic Union (CDU) unveils their election manifesto.
In the vibrant atmosphere of Market Day in Willich, Germany, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) laid out their vision for the town's future. Guido Görtz, a key figure in the CDU, envisioned Willich as a smart city, incorporating intelligent lighting and video surveillance to enhance security, with the Jakob-Frantzen-Hall serving as a potential example.
Christian Pakusch, the CDU's candidate for mayor, echoed Görtz's sentiments, emphasizing that the intention was not to create a "surveillance state," but rather to protect municipal property and ensure the safety of its citizens.
The CDU acknowledged the need to address housing demands, committing to build more and faster. Over the past five years, they have invested 100 million euros in Willich's infrastructure, resulting in the construction of seven kindergartens.
Social cohesion in Willich is strong, according to Pakusch, who highlighted the achievements made in the city over the past five years. The CDU also pledged to continue offering free use of sports facilities and supporting sports and cultural associations.
In an effort to streamline bureaucratic processes, the CDU is considering the creation of a digital association and cultural portal. They are also aiming to strengthen the municipal public order service and integrate the police presence in the city more closely with the Viersen district.
The CDU is confident in Willich's future and plans to create more living space. In preparation for emergencies, they are in discussions with the fire department and municipal utilities to ensure self-sufficiency, particularly during power outages.
As a token of their commitment to the community, the Willich Christian Democrats have printed a flyer with the inscription "Our blend for Willich," which includes a small packet of delicious herbs and spices. The flyer also outlines the CDU's election program "Roadmap 2030." A total of 25,000 copies of this flyer have been printed.
On this lively Market Day, the three gentlemen from the CDU were seated, enjoying coffee together, discussing the future of their beloved Willich.
Willingly aligning their political vision with general-news interests, the Christian Democrats announced their intent to improve security and streamline bureaucratic processes in Willich, while also focusing on housing demands and social cohesion. The party also acknowledged the importance of maintaining transparency and ensuring the safety of citizens, emphasizing that their smart city initiative was not intended to create a surveillance state.
