AfD top candidate Szalontay wants to change Neufahrn – your vote counts!
In Neufahrn near Freising there are current developments that are shaking up the political landscape. Attila Szalontay is running as the top candidate of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the upcoming local elections. At 51 and as a trained agricultural technician, he leads the local council list, which consists of twelve candidates. One of the politician's central concerns is a citizen survey against the newly completed accommodation for refugees in the community. Szalontay has also taken clear positions, for example against the construction of social housing.
Another concern of the AfD candidate is the establishment of a polyclinic that will have an emergency room and specialist medical care. Szalontay is also concerned about security: he is in favor of installing surveillance cameras in public places and main streets. At the same time, he rejects the municipality's financing of bicycle paths and charging stations, which is likely to be a source of discussion among many citizens in Neufahrn. In the last local elections in 2020, the AfD received almost five percent of the vote in Neufahrn, which did not seem high given the voter turnout at the time of 51.5% and the total number of votes of 7,629, but underlines the party's relevance in the discussion reports the Süddeutsche.
