SPD Viersen elects new parliamentary group board: Rönsberg resigns!
In Viersen, the SPD district council group has experienced an exciting reorganization. A new parliamentary group executive board was elected this week, which consists of twelve newly elected social democratic members of the Viersen district council. A striking face that is no longer represented on the parliamentary group board is Annalena Rönsberg. The political scientist ran for district administrator in the last local elections, but lost out in the runoff against Bennet Gielen from the CDU. Despite her committed campaign, Rönsberg received 40.8 percent of the vote, while Gielen received 59.2 percent.
Rönsberg made the decision to withdraw from the parliamentary group executive committee for personal reasons, without giving any further details. However, in a statement she emphasized that her political stance will continue to stand. This shows her continued desire to actively shape the fate of her city, even if she is no longer part of the parliamentary group board. Her political activities are not new - Rönsberg has been a member of the SPD since she was 16 and was particularly active in the Jusos.
A look at Annalena Rönsberg's career
Born in Mönchengladbach, she has lived with her husband in Viersen since 2005 and brings a lot of experience to local politics. As a politically active personality, she has been active in the SPD parliamentary group since 2008 and became involved in the Viersen city council early on, where she was elected in 2009. Her political career is marked by many important stages, including her election as deputy mayor of Alt-Viersen and her membership in various committees.
- Ausschuss für Bauen, Umwelt und Klimaschutz
- Ausschuss für Stadtentwicklung und -planung
- Ausschuss für Soziales und Gesundheit
Rönsberg has set herself clear goals that she would like to tackle in the next few years. These include the creation of residential building space, overcoming the demographic challenge and improving the compatibility of family and work. She would like to demonstrate her proximity to citizens by actively involving the population in urban planning.
Women in local politics: challenge and opportunity
Rönsberg's departure shows how dynamic and challenging the political landscape in Viersen is. It remains to be seen how the SPD will position itself in the coming years and whether new, fresh faces, especially women, will find their place in political events. A well-mixed district council can ultimately help ensure that a variety of perspectives are incorporated into decisions.
