FDP Willich Unveils Local Election Manifesto for 2025
In the picturesque town of Willich, the Free Democratic Party (FDP) has presented its comprehensive election program under the motto "Our Home. Our Future." The party, led by a younger generation of leaders, aims to set the course for the town's future, focusing on digitalization, affordable housing, education, security, budget, and traffic.
Hannes Zühlsdorff, the 27-year-old party chairman, and Max Brauckmann, the new press spokesperson, are spearheading the FDP's fresh approach. They are part of a new generation taking over from Hans-Joachim Donath, who has shaped the FDP for 40 years but is stepping down to pass the baton to his successors. Ralf Klein, at 61 years old, serves as the link between the generations.
The FDP's digital vision includes expanding digital infrastructure, improving e-government services, and promoting innovation technologies. They aim to provide administration in your pocket, offering 24/7 online access to municipal services, all united in a Willich app. Significant progress has been made in addressing the glass fiber issue, a key component in turning Willich into a smart city.
Affordable housing, particularly for young people, is a key focus for the FDP. They advocate for promoting tiny houses, co-living, and filling building gaps instead of sealing surfaces. Smart traffic lights, improved bus connections, and barrier-free and safer bike paths are proposed to address traffic concerns.
Education reform is another priority. The FDP plans to modernize schools with digital tools, enhance educational quality, and increase autonomy. They also aim to establish a youth parliament with real influence on the city's future.
Security is a significant concern for the FDP, who propose a more visible municipal public order service and a permanently staffed police station in Willich. They believe that freedom needs security, and their plans aim to strike a balance between the two.
Budgetary responsibility is also a key part of the FDP's platform. They advocate for balanced budgets, fiscal responsibility, and efficient public spending. They also support a reduction in trade tax and oppose a tax increase.
The FDP's program is designed to be mobile and climate-friendly. They plan to promote traffic flow improvements, smarter traffic management, and sustainable mobility solutions.
While the FDP in Willich has not announced a mayoral candidate due to the ongoing generational change within the party, they are having conversations about whether to recommend a candidate or field one. For precise details on their 2025 local election program, the official FDP Willich website or local party communications should be consulted.
As the population of Willich decreases from 53,000 to 51,000, the FDP's ambitious program aims to inspire young people and attract new residents to the town. The party has renewed itself as a young and dynamic force, ready to tackle the challenges of the future.
