Dispute over Pforzheim Peace: City withdraws!

In the City of Pforzheim's cultural committee, it is bubbling: The future of the peace price is on the brink! The committee has decided with nine yes and only two votes against that the city administration could withdraw from the award. This would organize the honorable award, which is to be awarded to Journalist Düzen Tekkal in the coming year, by an independent initiative. However, the final decision is still with the local council, but a yes is likely.

The withdrawal of the original decision on the award is considered a mistake by some city councilors. Christiane Müh, one of the initiators, was disappointed with the lack of perspective for the award ceremony. CDU politician Frank Johannes Lemke also emphasized the need to clearly differentiate himself. The rounds make sharp accusations that the peace price is moved into the context of election campaign campaigns, in particular in favor of the Greens - the green agricultural minister Cem Özdemir was intended as a guest speaker. The dispute over the concept and the orientation of the price could possibly lead to a devaluation of the prestigious award. Details on this excessive topic are available in an article on bnn.de .
