Wilhelm Gebhard: From the mayor to MP - a new beginning!

Wanfried, Deutschland - The leap into the political adventure: Wilhelm Gebhard did it! The former mayor of Wanfried recently won the direct mandate in constituency 168 (Hersfeld-Rotenburg/Werra-Meißner). With 32.2 percent of the first votes, Gebhard is now moving to the Bundestag as a member of the Bundestag of the CDU and can look forward to an exciting new beginning. Osthessen-News reports that Gebhard describes his first weeks in the Bundestag as exciting and challenging, and that as "country egg" in the pulsating metropolis Berlin.

The past few months have not only been shaped by political setbacks, such as the failed election of Friedrich Merz as Chancellor. For Gebhard it was important to gain a foothold in the new environment and to get to know the many facets of Berlin. His concise remark that although he appreciates the history and diversity of Berlin, but does not want to live there, shows how strongly his roots are anchored at home. He wants to ensure that politics finds back on people's needs, especially at a time when trust in the political institutions disappear.

experience and challenges

, however, the new MP already has his first group meeting of the CDU/CSU in Berlin. On Tuesday after his election, we went straight back to the political routine, where he also took part in training. The pressure is high: Gebhard emphasizes that it is necessary to keep the AfD small and to reflect on the principles of his party. It is determined to become active in the areas of economy, migration and internal security and demands clear concessions from the SPD.

The need to enact laws that take into account the needs of small municipalities is important to him. Gebhard has already gained valuable experience as a mayor and in the district council and would like to contribute them to the committees for living, urban development, construction as well as for economy and energy. His vision for rural spaces and an attractive life outside of the big cities will shape politics in the upcoming legislative period.

goals and outlook

As Gebhard himself said, he would like to spend between 20 and 22 weeks of session in Berlin. The challenges are clear: the strong political extremism is concerned about him and he advocates a return to the political center. The CDU/CSU parliamentary group also wants to implement a reduction in bureaucracy as well as "https://www.hna.de/lokales/witzenhausen/wanfried-ort104429/wilhelm-bhard-war-war-war-woche-93600162.html"> HNA reported.

In addition to the political challenges, Gebhard misses the calm and cleanliness of his homeland. Despite the exciting new role as a MP, contact with the citizens from Wanfried will always come first, because he wants to wear the concerns of his fellow citizens to Berlin. It is to be hoped that the new politician with fresh wind and a clear focus on the needs of the region will also be heard in the Bundestag.
