Mayor election in Frankfurt: the election posters challenge the voters

The people of Frankfurt can be happy.

You have the choice.

They can decide on a new mayor sooner than expected, and the election campaign has begun.

The posters advertising the candidates are up.

Because one shouldn't be naïve, it would be nice if the interest in the new election was as great as in the deselection of the former mayor, but it won't be like that.

The name Peter Feldmann mobilized, albeit in a negative way.

Now the people of Frankfurt must be interested in new faces, even if they are actually not that new: Mike Josef from the SPD and Uwe Becker from the CDU also know voters who are only minimally interested in what is happening in the city, as both have been constants in Frankfurt for years Local politics were or are.

In order to be able to do something with the name Manuela Rottmann from the Greens, one must have had a longer and deeper interest in city politics, which is especially true for the other candidates.

They should be measured against programs

The posters are or would be all the more important.

Ideally, they ensure that the candidates can be perceived and evaluated in their diversity.

In almost all cases, however, the candidates have opted for motifs and slogans that do not meet this requirement.

Why should Becker be the best?

Because of the alliteration?

The departure for Frankfurt, for which Rottmann wants to stand, had already been chosen when Feldmann was voted out.

So far only Mike Josef's posters are working in this race of favorites.

He chose a convincing photo of himself.

He is also the only candidate who trusts voters to process programmatic content.

That only the economic success of Frankfurt can lead to social strength sounds trivial, but the previous incumbent did not understand and practice it.

Therefore, Joseph has a refreshing and above all true message.

The other candidates should urgently consider doing something to counter Josef and his other slogans, which range as far as a concrete investment sum for schools and kindergartens.

Because they have not challenged their voters so far.

If things continue like this, the election could be more exciting than the Greens and CDU would like.

That everyone is already imagining themselves as Lord Mayor, which seems to interest some people the most?

gift.

They should be judged by their programs.

So on the posters with it.
