Resignation in Großderschau: Who will be the new mayor?

in Großderschau, a small community in the Havelland, there are currently major changes in the political landscape. Mayor Ivonne Ratzmer declared her resignation on June 30th. The municipal representatives Roland Specht, Horst Fiebig and Christian Sossna also prompted this decision to give up their offices. The director of the Rhinow office, Jens Aasmann (SPD), confirmed the resignation and informed the election manager. Despite these resignations, the municipal council with eight members remains able to act, because a new election is only necessary if fewer than half of the elected representatives are left maz-online.de reported.

On July 15th at 7 p.m., the successor to Ivonne Ratzmer will be discussed in the community center (Keaderschauer Straße 1a). The oldest member of the representation, which is still in office, will invite you to the meeting. First, a successor is determined for the deputy mayor Christian Sossna. It is crucial that a new mayor will be elected by the end of November, unless an internal successor is found quickly.

background of the resignation

The resignations did not take place without reason. The focus is on the construction of a mobile phone mast for which a building permit is already available. However, it will be difficult to prevent the construction of the mast because any complaints have no suspensive effect. A dismantling would only be possible if a final defeat is suffered in the administrative court. Citizens who are against the project had a month to file contradictions or to submit complaints. It remains unclear whether neighbors or associations have already become active.

A resignation of a mayor can be carried out at any time, as explained in weka.at. However, there are specific formalities that must be observed, such as submitting a written declaration at the municipal office. Sometimes it can also be problematic in communities to manage several resignations at the same time, especially if this could endanger the ability to work by the local council.

political implications

The political stability of the community could be affected by these developments. A resignation can have various reasons. Often it is morally questionable actions, but personal and political events also play a role. The tension among the citizens and within the municipal representatives will increase until a decision about the future leadership is made.

It remains to be seen how the situation in Großderschau will develop and who will take over the helm at the end of the election round. The neighboring community of Großenlach also shows that the new electoral rules in Baden-Württemberg, which prohibit retreats after the first voting groups, are a hotly discussed topic. In this context, the lawyer Arne Pautsch has criticized that the regulation limits the passive voting right of the candidates and calls for a retreat option, as [https://www.staatsanzeiger.de/nachrichten/kreis-und-kommune/wertber--nicht-zurueck.
