Erik von Malottki against fine: election posters get stuck!

Pasewalk, Deutschland - The wind blows cool over the streets in Vorpommern-Greifswald, while the excitement for the election posters of the SPD politician Erik von Malottki blows. What happened after the district election on May 11, 2023? Even 57 days after the urn opening moments, posters are still visible - in Rossow, the Stettiner Chaussee in Penkun, the Oststadt in Pasewalk and Dargitz. Torsten Glusa from Dargitz is dissatisfied with the sight and is surprised at the failures, while the CDU and AfD were already a good example and have removed their posters in good time. Nordkurier reported by damaged posters in Pasewalk, which have torn unknown perpetrators from a mast. With a total of 1000 advertising materials, Erik von Malottki started before the election, of which volunteers hanged most. Now he explains that 95 percent are removed, but some have simply been overlooked.

Erik von Malottki is now in the line of the Löcknitz Penkun office. The office was challenged and sent two letters with threats of fine over 300 euros to the SPD regional office, since all posters should have been removed 14 days after the election-which meant from Malottki May 25th. This delay of over four weeks is an atypical phenomenon for those responsible. Inken Arndt from the AfD has also received a similar notification, but it could not give in to the pressure and has already removed her posters.

election advertising in change

What about the power of the election posters? A look at the upcoming National Council elections in September 2024 shows that political slogans and appeals play an increasingly important role in public spaces. According to the analysis on word and wise , different parties use very different strategies to convey their messages. While the ÖVP primarily relies on clarity and security to address basic needs, the SPÖ communicates with human proximity - albeit without concrete implementation strategies. Slogans like "with heart + brain" aim to address the personal concern of voters.

This development is in stark contrast to the current problems that the SPD affects in Shafen and the surrounding area, such as the constant shrinking of the population, which endangers the infrastructure. A recurring topic of the party is the need to increase the attractiveness of the region, including projects such as the village development concept, which has been on the table since 2021. The SPD is trying to develop settlement concepts in order to show more residential areas and to promote the creation of jobs. Planned leisure activities and support in the kindergarten area show that the party is concerned with the common good. These socially friendly solutions are at the top of the SPD's agenda, and budget policy with a solid discipline is also not to go.

challenges in tourism

But the challenges do not stop here: Tourism, despite its importance as an economic engine, suffers from the change in apartments in holiday apartments. A first step was taken with the change of the B-Plan Stockrehm in Bliesdorf to limit holiday rentals and thus to counteract the shrinkage. At the same time, the SPD relies on high -quality tourism and improves the leisure opportunities on site, which should increase the quality of life of the residents.

This shows that election posters and their processing are more than just an aesthetic annoyance in the landscape. They are mirrors of political concerns and the pulse of the population. While some miss the commitment to a clean picture in the community, others try to fight for a sustainable and healthy future. The coming months will clarify whether this will succeed with or without posters.
