The metropolitan region in the province: for years, the people of ebern have benefited from their affiliation with the VGN (verkehrsverbund grobraum nurnberg) through the hourly train service and the validity of tickets for the buses in bamberg and nurnberg as well. Now, the small town in lower franconia has also joined a political campaign: the alliance against right-wing extremism, for which a day of action was held throughout the metropolitan region. On banners and posters the message "who chooses democracy, no racists" was displayed carried into the country. A call to go to the polls at all, to oppose extremists with majorities.
"Even if we have become accustomed to it over the last 70 years and live well with it: democracy is not a matter of course", said mayor jurgen hennemann (SPD). Democracy lives through energy and courage: like any living organism, it needs a constant supply of energy from the personal commitment of its citizens, otherwise it will become stunted and eventually die. In times of loud simplifications, it also needs the courage to show non-violent face for our values and not to leave the field to the inhuman slogans of a few."
His voice was also raised by songwriter alexander muller from rabelsdorf, known for his "songs for the soul", with which he now also takes a political stance. The audience on the rainy thursday remained hand-picked. Muller is hoping for more listeners on kirchweih sunday, as he will be speaking from 12.30 to 13.30 o’clock the visitors of the church fair will be entertained with political songs from the stage at the neptune fountain, before the brass orchestra will play from 2 o’clock onwards.
