For a healthy and lively community in the center of the country
Dear fellow citizens!
In November 2022 we have already presented the candidates of our group „Är Leit „ to you.
We are an open citizens’ list again and want to continue with our citizen-oriented local politics.
Our candidates are no strangers and they have not only recently discovered their interest in local politics and were not recruited at the last moment.
On the contrary, they have demonstrated their competence and their commitment for years as aldermen and as members of the municipal council, in municipal commissions and in the local associations and clubs. In addition, they are all, without exception, capable of accepting their mandate.
For the future, we offer a clear and realistic programme, which is in the interest of Lorentzweiler.
All our projects are in harmony with the ecological, social, cultural and economic requirements of our community. Of course, we will maintain all existing offers and services.
Our community has a long reputation as an attractive and family-friendly place to live with an excellent social life. The accessibility to both public transport and the general transport network are another plus.
This is something we can all be proud of.
We have always been committed to a correct and and open municipal management and information policy.
So we invite you, dear fellow citizens, to our „Är Leit – Talk“ as well as to our information and discussion evening. Here, would like to account for the term of office that is coming to an end and discuss our future program with you.
We are looking forward to your suggestions. Write to info@aer-leit.lu and take part in our discussion meetings.
Är Leit
THE HUMAN BEING AT THE CENTER OF SUSTAINABLE LOCAL POLITICS
„Leadership means looking ahead“
Our election programme is intended to set the basic guidelines for the future development of our community and set the course for the next mandate. Not all of our ideas can be implemented in a single period. However, it is our concern to present to you, fellow citizens, a transparent, long-term, honest and financially viable political vision for the future. Thus, the Board of Aldermen has already had various future projects drawn up.
