Steven Wink: New FDP parliamentary group leader in Rhineland-Palatinate elected!
Steven Wink, previously Vice Chairman of the FDP Group, was unanimously elected as the new chairman of the FDP parliamentary group in the Rhineland-Palatinate state parliament on Wednesday. This happened during a meeting of the parliamentarians, which was necessary after Philipp Fernis was appointed to the state government after Herbert Mertin's death. Wink, who has been sitting in the state parliament since May 2016 and 40 years old, looks forward to his new task with anticipation and plans to focus on the work of the faction. In the discussion about the parliamentary group management, Marco Weber, who worked closely together with Wink, was also mentioned and suggested it to the majority of the votes. The details of the effects of Wink's new role on his mandate in the Pirmasens city council have so far remained unclear, but he plans to advise himself promptly with the members of the Pirmasenser FDP.
According to his own statements,Wink intends to apply again for a state mandate, whereby the nomination by the party is to take place in the coming week. These recruits in the parliamentary group show the dynamic political currents within the FDP in Rhineland-Palatinate and the challenges that the party faces.
New State Office for Disaster Protection
The domestic political spokesman for the FDP Group, Philipp Fernis, emphasizes the importance of disaster protection and emphasizes that the teachings from the flood disaster have to go into the new structures. A central unit is set up that not only creates position images, but also takes over the coordination of emergency services at the state level. In addition, targeted training of management and emergency services is planned to increase the efficiency in disaster protection. In view of the latest attacks on critical infrastructure in Germany, the FDP considers the strengthening of civil protection essential.
The change of personnel within the parliamentary group and the reforms in disaster protection illustrate the current challenges with which the FDP is confronted in Rhineland-Palatinate. While Steven Wink is preparing for his new role as group leader, it remains to be seen how these changes will affect the political landscape of the region.
