Kretschmer faces the worries of the Görlitzer - answers to questions!

Görlitz, Deutschland - On Monday morning, a citizen question hour with Michael Kretschmer, the Prime Minister of Saxony (CDU), took place in Görlitz. In warm temperatures, Kretschmer sat down on a tree border during the event and took an hour and a half to accept the concerns of the citizens. The response was mixed: According to a recent survey by Civey, only 40% of Saxons are satisfied with his work, while 43% are dissatisfied.

During the question time, various topics were addressed that were important to the citizens. This included in particular the expansion of the new tram and the support of Ukraine. Kretschmer posed positively on the policy of Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) and the CDU chairman Friedrich Merz. A controversial topic was the recovery of Nord Stream 2 according to the conflicts in Ukraine, to which Kretschmer also devoted himself.

challenges from right -wing extremism

A explosive topic that was discussed at the event was increasing right -wing extremism in Görlitz. An investor reported on his experiences with extremist rights in the city and expressed his intention to leave the city due to the insufficient support of the police. Kretschmer recognized the problem and referred to previous measures such as SOKO Rex to combat right -wing extremism.

The Saxon government has declared the fight against right -wing extremism to be a permanent task. This is done by a comprehensive approach that includes democracy and value formation, diverse support offers as well as early education and effective repression. The overall concept against right -wing extremism, which was decided in 2021, is checked and further developed annually in order to always address current threats such as anti -Semitism and anti -queer -anti -queer agitation. A central element are new advisory structures for those affected.

collaboration and new initiatives

Minister of State Armin Schuster emphasized the need for cooperation between state and civil society in the fight against right -wing extremist structures. Programs and measures at the federal and state levels play an important role. Innovative initiatives, such as the central point of contact for victims of right -wing extremism and anti -Semitism (Zora) and the central position of extremism Saxony (Zesa), are intended to improve victim care and promote sensitization to racially motivated crimes.

The Saxon State Center for Political Education and Local Partnerships are also actively committed to promoting democracy and political educational offers. These initiatives should not only have an effect in urban, but also in rural areas and invite citizens to shape the citizens.

Overall, it should be noted that Michael Kretschmer dealt with the existing challenges in his citizen questioning and emphasized the will to cooperate and the constant improvement of security and democratic values in Saxony. The citizens were asked to express their worries and proposals, which is also a way for the Prime Minister to receive direct feedback and, if necessary, make adjustments to the political agenda.
