Jusos Hannover: Solidarity with Ukraine remains alive!
Jusos Hannover: Solidarity with Ukraine remains alive!
The district conference of the Jusos Hannover took place last weekend, a meeting where one not only discussed, but also moved into a position - especially on the subject of Ukraine. The Jusos Region Hannover was there with a strong delegation and brought some of its own applications into the discussion. The central concern that everyone in the present was was the solidarity with Ukraine, which was also emphasized when the Ukrainian Association of Lower Saxony was emphasized. This concern is not only on the Jusos agenda, but is also part of the broader support that Hanover has been providing Ukraine since Russia on February 24, 2022Ronja Heinrich, co-chair of the Jusos Region Hannover, spanned a bow to the current developments and emphasized how important international support is for Ukraine. "Solidarity does not know any expiry date!" Was the title of the application that fueled the talks. In this context, the incomprehension of a peace manifesto of several SPD officials was also expressed, which was differentiated as too little and criticized as a misunderstanding of the real situation in Ukraine. While the representatives of the association presented impressively about the horrors of the war, Anton Halbrügge, co-chair of the Jusos, said concerns about past contacts within the SPD to Russia.
unbroken solidarity with Ukraine
The solidarity of Hanover with Ukraine is impressive. With a support of 500,000 euros, which was decided by the Council in June 2022, the city did not simply provide money, but also enabled practical help. Mayor Belit Onay confirmed the close connection to the South Ukrainian city of Mykolajiw at the last conference, which suffers particularly strongly from the consequences of the war. Over 50 percent of the population have fled here and many buildings and the entire infrastructure have been destroyed.
The support of Hanover includes aid deliveries, generators and emergency vehicles, as well as activities that draw attention to the fate of people. On February 24, 2024, Onay plans to take part in a rally in the city to set a sign of solidarity. Several events are already in planning, including a benefit concert and a panel discussion for medical support for Ukraine, which is in line with the commitment of the Jusos.
joint initiatives and commitment
The coordinated commitment between Hanover and the Ukrainian Association of Lower Saxony has also brought concrete success in recent years. From September to December 2022, aid deliveries were organized that ranged from municipal commercial vehicles to food to support those affected in Mykolajiw. The technical relief organization provided respectable electricity generators to maintain the supply in the heavily stripped areas.
How the cooperation will develop in the future remains exciting. Hannover plans to continue to provide support for Mykolajiw and specifically provide relief supplies and vehicles worth around 150,000 euros. This solidarity is not only seen as a humanitarian duty, but also as a long-term goal to promote EU membership in Ukraine and its NATO integration.
The new district board of the Jusos Hannover - consisting of Marco Albers and Lisa Jarmuth as a double leadership and Fidelia Siegismund as deputy district chairman - will work with full power for these important concerns. The situation remains dynamic and those responsible will continue to keep your eyes and ears open in order to react vigilantly to new developments. Because as the Ukraine still says, solidarity remains an indispensable obligation.
