Mayoral candidates in the Triell: Who has the best economic policy?
Last Tuesday, a crucial panel discussion between the mayoral candidates took place in Mettmann, organized by the youth council. This event is considered the official starting signal for the local election campaign, which will take place in the region on September 13th. Elections for mayoral positions in nine cities as well as the election of the district administrator of the Mettmann district are planned for the next five years. During the election campaign, a second trial between the candidates took place just a few days after the panel discussion.
The Triell was organized by the Düsseldorf Chamber of Commerce and Industry, with the focus on economic policy. The main participants were:
- Sandra Pietschmann, parteilos und unterstützt von CDU und SPD
- Thomas Sterz von der FDP
- André Bär von der Wählergemeinschaft Mettmann. Unabhängig. Transparent
Economic policy objectives
The Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK) held a total of ten election arenas as part of the local elections in June to determine the economic policy goals of the candidates. In close cooperation with the regional committees, eleven position papers were drawn up that capture the business community's expectations of the upcoming city governments. These documents are available online on the IHK Düsseldorf website, where the recordings of the electoral arenas can also be viewed.
Economic policy plays a central role in the candidates' debates, as they strive hard to address the needs of Mettmann's citizens and economy. The information summarized in the position papers gives voters a concrete insight into the candidates' plans and visions for the upcoming elections.
The IHK has also highlighted economic policy as a crucial factor that directly influences the region's quality of life and economic stability. Voters are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the published information to make an informed decision.
