Rehlinger, the Prime Minister, wraps up a successful summer tour in 2023
Saarland Minister President Anke Rehlinger recently concluded her 2023 summer tour, which focused on identifying and strengthening the region's cultural and social potential. The tour, dedicated to direct dialogue with citizens, included various stops across the region.
One of the tour's highlights was the visit to the EDA-Optiker-Werkstatt project in Togo, an initiative aimed at providing affordable or free glasses to visually impaired individuals, enabling them to fully participate in educational, professional, and social life. This project underscores Saarland's commitment to educational justice, a fundamental aspect of individual and societal development.
During the tour, Rehlinger visited the St. Ingbert weekly market, where she participated in the "Market Conversations" series, addressing the concerns and questions of market visitors. She also exchanged views with members of the association for the preservation of the Bettinger Mill, a historic site transformed into a green power plant that supplies electricity to at least 15 single-family homes daily and a flourishing cultural centre.
The association, founded in 1993, boasts approximately 300 members. Rehlinger praised the Bettinger Mill, stating that it showcases the value of creative minds and voluntary commitment. The Homburg Music Summer, a fixed element in the region's cultural calendar, was another stop on the tour, with Rehlinger particularly pleased about the cross-border significance of many events.
At the Jazz brunch of the Homburg Music Summer, Rehlinger expressed confidence in Saarland's future, stating, "Saarland is a land with a future." The tour concluded with Rehlinger's visit to the Bettinger Mill in Schmelz, where she emphasised the educational and social potential of the region.
The tour's emphasis on promoting social equity through education and supporting inclusive projects reflects Saarland’s role as a state committed to social progress under Rehlinger's leadership. This approach to leveraging cultural and social resources to foster education and participation, both locally and in cooperation with international partners, underscores Saarland's vision for a more inclusive and equitable society.
