Poverty control in Lübeck: Jamaica cooperation ignores urgent help!

in Lübeck, the citizens rejected the implementation of effective measures to combat poverty in its latest budget meeting. The Jamaica alliance, consisting of the majority, consisting of CDU, Greens and FDP, ignored a budget application by SPD and FW, which wanted to follow the recommendations of the administration to combat poverty. This application was rejected with a clear majority, despite an existing poverty and social report and an interim report with priorities that were previously determined. Gregor Voht from SPD & FW criticized the decision and described it as incomprehensible to request prioritization and then ignore them.

Instead of solid measures, the citizens decided unclear individual projects, which according to the social policy spokeswoman Renate Prüß did not represent an effective solution. The social space orientation, an approach to improving the quality of life of the citizens in their direct environment, continues to be neglected. Prüß emphasized the urgency of this method to enable people to live a self -determined life in their districts. The political debate about these decisions has increased in tension, since the necessary cooperation and the necessary structure to combat poverty remain on the route as here-luebeck.de reports .
