On February 16, 2025, Cornelius Volker runs for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the upcoming Bundestag election on February 23 in the Hameln-Pyrmont/Holzminden constituency. The 57-year-old tax advisor from Hameln is also a member of the city council. His hobbies include long forest walks and equestrian sport.

destinations and positions by Cornelius Volker

For the district of Holzminden, Volker has formulated some important goals. Among other things, he calls for the abolition of energy tax to support the glass industry and is committed to ensuring medical care in the district.

• migration policy: Volker calls for compliance with existing laws and speaks against the fact that asylum law applies to people from safe third countries. He also calls for the return of people with rejected asylum applications and intensive devices.

In addition, he speaks for an active role in Germany in the Ukraine War by urging the country to negotiate and invest in defense.

finance and climate protection

Another central concern of Volker is the financial resources of the municipalities. He demands that municipalities receive a higher proportion of the original tax revenue in order to strengthen regional companies and thus improve trade tax revenue. With regard to climate protection, Volker indicates the high proportion of forest in Holzminden (over 46%) and looks at the maintenance of the forests as the core task of climate protection.

To ensure medical care, Volker calls for a amendment to the hospital care improvement law and pleads to take into account the district in the Lower Saxony hospital plan. In addition, he pays attention to the support for companies in the acquisition of skilled workers, including programs for the return of specialists who have migrated abroad.

In a broader context, another source describes the continuing challenges due to the strong migration pressure in Germany. Since 2015, cultural, political, social and economic problems have been increasingly emerging, which are due to the high number of asylum seekers and illegal business migrants. This group often brings a low level of education, asset and income, which significantly limits the ability to integrate into the German labor market.

In addition, the security policy consequences are pointed out, including Islamistically motivated terrorist acts in Europe, such as the Bataclan massacre from 2015 and the attack on the Berlin Christmas market in 2016, as well as recent riots in Stuttgart and riots from Hamas Sympathizer in Berlin.
