Court dismisses a lawsuit against Rheinsberg election - drama around Schwochow!

There is currently some excitement in Rheinsberg, because the administrative court in Potsdam has rejected the Freke Over lawsuit against the last local election. Over, a former city councilor, tried to declare the election invalid because he had illegal influence to Mayor Frank-Rudi Schwochow (BVB/Free Voters). Schwochow received almost 2200 votes in the elections and thus seems to be on solid ground. Over and his legal team are now considering waiting for the written reason for the judgment in order to take further legal steps reports the Märkische Allgemeine .

Not only politics ensures conversation in the region. The fire brigade in Lohm faces a serious challenge. Due to the outgoing volunteers and a small number of members, the location could soon close its goals.
