- Could non-affiliated candidates be the hidden advantage against the Alternative for Germany party?

In an unexpected turn of events, the Social and Education Committee of the City Council in Brandenburg, Germany, held a meeting at an unusual venue - Leo's Adventureland, a local kindergarten. Mayor Robert Nitz, who ran as an independent candidate (parteilos) in the municipal elections, presided over the meeting. Despite the formal nature of his role, his attire was casual, consisting of light-colored pants, a casual pullover, and sneakers. The meeting was not held in a conventional meeting hall or office. Instead, it took place in the dining room of the kindergarten. Seven committee members participated in the meeting, seated on chairs that did not resemble typical official seats. Interestingly, some citizens from the community were allowed to attend the meeting, peeking in from the back to observe the proceedings. This unconventional approach to governance is a testament to Mayor Nitz's commitment to transparency and inclusivity. It's worth noting that despite not being affiliated with any political party, Mayor Nitz was supported by all parties except AfD in the municipal elections. This support underscores the confidence the community has in his leadership. The meeting, held in Brandenburg, marks a departure from traditional political practices, signalling a new era of open and accessible governance in the region.
