EU intends to boost the count of ventures supported by the Union's funds in the energy sector.
David Dasbach, a teacher and political candidate, has announced his run for Mayor of Koblenz on September 21st. Representing the satirical party 'Die PARTEI,' Dasbach also enjoys the support of the Koblenz Left.
In a recent interview, Dasbach compared the role of administration and political leadership to a coffee maker and coffee filters, highlighting the importance of effective implementation of his visions. His campaign focuses on digitalization, education, affordable housing, and a climate-neutral Koblenz by 2035.
Dasbach's digitalization plans aim to modernize Koblenz's administration, but specific details remain scarce. He is, however, adamant about making housing affordable and community-oriented, with a focus on preventing housing speculation.
To combat climate change, Dasbach envisions Koblenz as a 'sponge city' with an emphasis on green spaces and ecological practices. Each city district, he believes, should have its own unique character, contributing to a lively, climate-friendly whole.
To reduce traffic congestion, Dasbach proposes prioritizing bike lanes, pedestrian space, and smart sharing concepts. He also plans to implement 30 km/h speed limits in all residential areas.
Dasbach is critical of the current state of digital administration in Koblenz, which he considers outdated. He aims to intensify cooperation between the city, universities, and research institutions to drive forward digitalization.
Affordable housing is a priority for Dasbach, who believes housing should not be a luxury. He plans to repurpose vacant buildings for cultural projects, start-ups, and easing the housing market.
Education is close to Dasbach's heart, as he is a teacher by profession. He emphasizes the importance of good local supply, safe bike and foot routes, reliable public transport, and parks and green spaces in all city districts.
Dasbach's vision for Koblenz is a city that is climate-neutral, social, and vibrant. As of October 2023, there are no publicly known details about broad support from other parties beyond 'Die PARTEI' and the Koblenz Left for his mayoral bid. Local groups or initiatives may exist, but further information is not widely available.
For the latest and most detailed information, it is recommended to visit the official websites of the parties or the involved candidates, or consult local news sources.
