Hannes Gericke wants to bring a breath of fresh air as JuLi chairman

The Young Liberals (JuLis) Hildesheim are facing a change in personnel because the previous chairman Tim Heckeroth has announced that he will not run again. After three years at the top, Heckeroth confidently takes stock and calls for a breath of fresh air. This upheaval is accompanied by a desire for personnel renewal and an eye for political development, which hildesheimer-presse.de underlines. His successor is 22-year-old Hannes Gericke from Sarstedt, who is running in the local elections with fresh ideas and a clear focus.

Gericke has been part of the JuLis for four years and has proven himself as an assessor and treasurer. He also heads the JuLis Lower Saxony state education working group. His focus for the coming years will be on education, mobility in the district and the revitalization of Hildesheim's city center. “I would like to actively shape the debate about the political role of young people locally,” explains Gericke, showing himself to be a fighter for the interests of young people in his region.

A varied election campaign lies ahead

The election of the new board of the Young Liberals Hildesheim will take place on July 25, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. in the Bischofsmühle. The members are optimistic about the future. Heckeroth, who was recently elected to the state executive board of the Young Liberals of Lower Saxony, does not see a retreat, but rather a transformation that enables young people to actively shape liberal politics.

On a broader scale, the Young Liberals in Lower Saxony are calling for a realignment of their political agenda. Among other things, they advocate for more inclusive applications for internships in federal ministries and advocate abolishing the criterion of a compulsory internship. julis-niedersachsen.de emphasizes how important the school environment is for the educational success of offspring and that there is a need to catch up in German schools. The Liberals also have an eye on man-made climate change and recognize the challenges, especially for the large cities in Lower Saxony.

Review and outlook

The latest developments within the Young Liberals also reflect a broad discussion within the party about possible decisions. After the 2021 federal election, the JuLis are calling for a deep reflection process to ensure that the political ideas and values ​​of the FDP can be experienced again. Nadin Zaya, the state chairwoman, emphasizes the need to respond to the demands on political design and to lead the party successfully into the future. altkreisblitz.de puts this optimism into perspective, as it sees the need for action, especially among young and first-time voters.

With Hannes Gericke at the helm of JuLis Hildesheim, exciting months can be expected in which the local association wants to bring a breath of fresh air into the political landscape. The upcoming elections will show how well it is possible to integrate the concerns of young people into the political agenda and which strategies can bring the desired success.
