City of Ueckermünde: Administration is criticized for construction projects!

Ueckermünde, Deutschland - On July 14th, various factions in Ueckermünde, including the AfD, the Bürgerbund and the citizens for Vorpommern-Greifswald (BFVG), submitted an application for an urgency meeting of the city council. Due to a variety of urgent topics, such as problems with a hotel, a gym and the elevator at the Ehm Welk School, these inconsistencies must be treated quickly. Detlef Rabethge from the BFVG emphasizes that these affairs cannot simply be pushed over the summer break. Antje Krins from the Bürgerbund is also dissatisfied with the action of the administration, especially in the construction measures that are bound to important funding and deadlines.

Inken Arndt from the AfD also indicates the considerable financial risk associated with the upcoming projects, especially if you look at the planning of inclusion at the Ehm Welk School. There are obviously grievances here, because the exterior elevator, which is urgently needed, does not correspond to the required spacing areas to a neighboring property. An agreement with the neighbor is urgently required to avert the risk of loss of funding.

The concerns of the city representatives

The city representatives also criticize the supposedly grossly negligent planning of the city administration with regard to the gym at Haffring. The second construction phase is to be classified as risky in the current budget situation. Another point in this tense situation: If the construction phase is not completed by June 30, 2026, the loss of EUR 1.1 million is at risk of funding. The administration is also blamed with the planned departmental hotel, since a purchase contract has been concluded, which, in the opinion of the city representatives, has adverse consequences for the city.

Karsten Berndt from the BFVG asks the buyers to enter into force the contract within a specified period in order to avoid even greater financial damage. In this context, the political groups emphasize the importance of careful handling of household funds. According to the municipal constitution, the treatment of the application must take place by the end of this week or early next week. Mayor Jürgen Kliewe has already confirmed the receipt of the application and announced an extraordinary meeting for July 23rd.

political pressure meet

At the moment there is also an enlarged interest in the political voting processes in the federal government, such as Tagesschau . There the Union plans to convene special meetings of the old Bundestag. However, AfD and LINKE reject them and have started legal steps. In a political climate in which the composition of the MPs has changed, this ensures significant discussions about the legitimacy of the decisions of the old Bundestag.

In a larger context, local politics often fought for financial resources. The financial situation of many cities is tense, annual new debt burdens the cash register options. As the Federal Center for Political Education , municipalities have to regulate their concerns themselves, but they are often subject to decisions and financing through state, federal and EU instances. This can cause municipalities to act as a gaps in social and infrastructural challenges.

It remains exciting how the gap between the needs on site and the higher political bodies can be bridged. In any case, the political groups in Ueckermünde agree that it must now be traded - at all levels.
