“Every day we receive terrible images and news from Ukraine. The Russian war of aggression in Ukraine has now lasted almost eight months. From the point of view of the CDU / FDP group, municipal partnerships allow for quick help in difficult situations and make a significant contribution to peaceful exchange between democratic states. We fail to understand the hesitation of the majority alliance, after all they have not reacted with such caution to the partnerships with cities in China and Russia “, clearly positions Schlossarek.
The Hanover region stands for the peaceful coexistence of all people. This basic attitude is an essential reason for all of our connections. As a sign of our solidarity and affinity, we, as the Hanover region, want to start a real partnership with a local authority in Ukraine. “We believe that the current request by Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selensky to conclude further German-Ukrainian partnerships as a clear confirmation of our request,” said Schlossarek in the joint press release from Steinmeier and Selensky.
“In our opinion, there was and there is no reason why red / green hesitates. This is why we ask that the majority coalition approve our proposal at the next regional assembly on November 15th. The Hanover region should enter into a municipal partnership with a Ukrainian city or local authority: that’s the least we can do, “sums up Schlossarek.
