It was so, that it is the Mainz CDU lack of its own candidates, said the County Chairman, Sabine Flegel at the presentation of the non-party candidate on the 27. October, incumbent Michael Ebling (SPD) is intended to defeat. The Coup had been prepared since August in Quiet, however, till Monday evening, the secret could be kept was, rather, a clear Signal to the citizens that the CDU wanted to go new ways, to bring “fresh Wind into the city hall, old structures break up and win cross-party support for people from all generations for our vision and concepts”.
Explicitly have been asked for more fractions, also behind Haase and to support the former speaker of the citizens ‘ initiative, the Gutenberg Museum, which has prevented the of the city to the lovely woman as an extension of the planned “Bible tower” in April 2018 with the help of a referendum, in the election campaign.

It lacked but also to agreements between the Departments, to the new residential and commercial space and, not least, proximity to the citizens. Yet Haase is missing a Vision. By 2030, so his idea should be viewed with a lot of Potential-equipped University town, for example, in the case of the settlement of innovative enterprises play a leading role in the Rhine-Main area. The person responsible in the city hall, he accused, “only on sight” and the loved one with the realization of expensive magnificent buildings, to employ as the town hall redevelopment.
