Young entrepreneur Shajan Aliyazdi takes over MIT chairmanship in Saarland!
A fresh breeze is blowing through the CDU's medium-sized business association in Saarland. Shajan Aliyazdi, only 26 years old, is the new chairman and is committed to restoring MIT's strong position in the political landscape. His online trading company, which he founded with two friends, now employs around 20 people and is shaping his perspective as an entrepreneur. With a clear goal and many ideas in his luggage, Aliyazdi wants to develop MIT into a driving force in state politics. Saarbrücker Zeitung reports that there were concerns before his candidacy, but these did not stop him from running for office.
Which, as he emphasizes, should not only represent an upswing in the middle class association, but also for the entire middle class in Saarland, which for Aliyazdi plays a crucial role in the German economy. It's not just pretty words he chooses; It also calls for the right framework conditions to better support small and medium-sized businesses and position them for the challenges ahead.
Political challenges and internal dynamics
MIT has lost some of its influence in recent years. “That has to change,” said Aliyazdi. The upcoming state election campaign has made the topic of economic policy a priority for the state CDU. There is also some dissatisfaction within the Saar CDU about the statements made by state chairman Stephan Toscani, who is also looking for external candidates for the economic program position. However, Aliyazdi is diplomatic and is convinced that internal candidates also have a lot to offer. While he feels comfortable in his company, he doesn't rule out a political career, especially when it comes to advancing the middle class.
Another sign of his ambition is the planning for a new concept to be presented next year. These plans are part of a comprehensive response to the current economic challenges, which should also be addressed at the federal level. The CDU and CSU have launched an immediate program to strengthen the German economy, which provides relief for companies. However, CDU criticizes the federal government's measures as inadequate and calls for a more active economic policy to bring the economy out of recession and create work incentives.
(Medium-sized) events and ideas
Medium-sized businesses also have a platform to exchange political ideas through events such as the summer festival on Vauban Island in Saarlouis. Philipp Gross from Gross-Bau gave a keynote speech that promoted exchanges about current challenges and opportunities for medium-sized businesses. These discussions are fundamental in order to sustainably strengthen the heating market and other sectors, which is also reflected in the demands of medium-sized businesses: reliability, less bureaucracy and lower tax burdens are just some of the points on the agenda Findglocal.
Despite all the challenges, Aliyazdi is determined and ready to actively tackle them. Not only as an entrepreneur, but also as a politician, he will be required to set the course for the future of medium-sized businesses in Saarland. In these turbulent times, it seems that an important piece of work lies ahead of him. But with a clear vision, it could well be that Shajan Aliyazdi has the necessary knack to revitalize MIT and medium-sized businesses in Saarland.
