The left rises again: renewed list for Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen!

The left rises again: renewed list for Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen!

In recent years, the Left has had to struggle with major challenges in the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district and has lost elected representatives, so that it currently no longer has a single elected representative. Nevertheless, there is reason for hope: for the upcoming election, the party has now published a revised district council list that includes 23 candidates, most notably Nadja Gschwendtner from Treuchtlingen. As the NN reports, the Left wants to strengthen its vote base again and represent the interests of the population who depend on healthy wages.

Compared to 2020, when 34 people were interested in running, the number of interested people has fallen to 23. Of the ten best-placed candidates so far, only two were able to maintain their place on the new list, while the two vote kings from the last election, Victor Rother and Felix Goldhorn, are no longer there and have left the party. The new list of candidates has equal representation and includes 12 women and 11 men. There are people from different professional fields such as crafts, nursing and education who bring a wide range of experiences and perspectives.

Important topics and goals

The left's priorities revolve around public services, environmental protection and social justice. Finally, a vote share of 2.15 percent was achieved in the last district election, which represents a valuable basis for the party to be able to get started again. At the federal level, the Left was able to achieve 8.8 percent and in the district they achieved almost five percent of the vote. This gives the impression that the party's interest representation is well received, but staying on the ball in order to mobilize voters more strongly is essential.

As far as future steps are concerned, the Left emphasizes that in the future it wants to place even greater emphasis on the concerns of people who rely on social security. The candidates are ready to advocate for fair treatment and a fair distribution of resources. Change is in the air, and the party hopes voters will honor it.
