ÖVP and LBL start cooperation: new ways for Deutschkreutz!

Deutschkreutz, Österreich - In Deutschkreutz something is happening! At the most recent council meeting, a new political course was decided to focus on the cooperation of the ÖVP with the Burgenland (LBL) list. "We want to implement central projects factually and across partys for the benefit of our community," explains Mayor Andreas Kacsits (ÖVP). This emphasizes that the talks with the SPÖ failed, but many conversations were constructive with the LBL, which underlines the urgency to cooperate. The ÖVP, as the strongest faction in the local council, has laid the foundation for a new era. Meinbezirk.at .

A result of this cooperation is the contract extension with the company Starzinger for the bottling of the popular mineral water Juvina by 20 years. This decision not only ensures planning security, but is also an important step to maintain jobs in the region. Kacsits also emphasizes that further projects, such as the renovation of the outdated municipal office, are tackled together with the Oberwarter settlement cooperative (OSG). The renewal of the electronic schoolboards in schools, which are to be assembled during the summer vacation, is also on the agenda.

Together for the region

The initiative shows how important it is to depoliticize political work and focus on results. KACSITS continues to invite the SPÖ to work constructively into this process. "This is not about a coalition against someone, but about cooperation for our community," he adds. For the citizens of Deutschkreutz, a region that is primarily known for their wine and the first -class mineral water, this collaboration with the LBL could open up new perspectives.

In the Oberpullendorf district there are some exciting developments that are highlighted by burgenland.orf.at . For example, the annual red wine festival attracts thousands of visitors, which is also reflected in increasing overnight number. The mineral water source in Deutschkreutz even has a story that is older than viticulture itself and has already been valued by the Romans.

The municipal tasks in focus

The role of local politics has gained in importance over the years. Political responsibility concerns the citizens directly, their concerns and needs are the focus of political work. This goes through the organization of events to secure jobs in the region. WILLTWARTES.AT summarizes the core tasks and underlines that municipal politicians are often closer to the citizens than minister.

The cards are mixed for the upcoming municipal council elections. The Burgenland list, which was able to win ten mandates in 2012, has competition from the SPÖ, which comes to eight mandates, and the ÖVP with seven seats. All parties will be required to clearly define their positions. Mayor Manfred Kölly, who has been in office since 2002, is planning a new community center, while his challenger, Johann Steinhofer from the SPÖ, wants to advance the expansion of the industrial area. So there is a lot of potential for exciting developments that have to be kept in mind.
