Success for Democracy in BraunsbedraIt was almost like a thriller that unfolded on March 6, 2024, in Braunsbedra’s town hall. The main topic was the construction of a solar park spanning over 300 hectares. The citizens’ initiative Braunsbedra (Sina Anklam, Christoph Gallas, and Marcus Müller) wanted an answer to a question from the city council — and simply asking that question became a political issue. The citizens’ initiative had collected 1,474 valid votes from Braunsbedra residents supporting this. The question was: Are you in favor of no free-field photovoltaic systems (solar parks) being built on agricultural land (arable land with soil points above 25) within the Braunsbedra city area? Mayor Steffen Schmitz intended to declare the asking and answering of this question legally inadmissible. He feared that answering it could endanger the solar project currently in planning and future solar projects, as it would interfere with the procedure. Lawyer Andreas Silbersack was consulted and gave his assessment. The representatives of the citizens’ initiative strongly opposed this and requested a vote in the city council. After an extensive and interesting round of questions from the citizens present in the council chamber, many more questions arose concerning the answers from the mayor and the council chairman. One could almost feel the dissatisfaction among some citizens regarding the inadequate, sometimes vague responses. The way the citizens’ question session was conducted was partially perceived as patronizing. It seemed that some of the citizens’ questions were seen as uncomfortable by the mayor. Later it became known that many citizens had written statements and sent them to the city of Braunsbedra. It also emerged that these requests, including personal data, had been forwarded in full to third parties for review and assessment in order to prepare an expert report. The mayor remained unimpressed when questioned about the passing on of personal data and data protection. One citizen voiced her concerns and appealed to the mayor and city councillors to reconsider the procedure and take it into account in their vote. Some also viewed the choice of lawyer Silbersack as questionable. The costs incurred by the city for involving the lawyer were not disclosed. Mayor Schmitz explained that if the city council were to approve the citizens’ initiative question, it would have to be submitted to the municipal supervisory authority for review, and it was very likely that it would then be declared inadmissible by that authority. Legal action could then be taken against this. In the roll-call vote, 10 city councillors rejected the above-mentioned question, while 14 voted in favor of recognizing it. The mayor did not seem pleased with the result. The atmosphere in the room was positive. A great sense of relief was palpable among the representatives of the citizens’ initiative. In the lengthy video, you can form your own impression. Author: AI-Translation - Michael Thurm & Grit Wagner | vor dem 01.07.2024 |
