"Bavaria summons"
In the heart of Bavaria, the initiative "Bavaria Calls" is gaining momentum, with a focus on promoting women in local politics, particularly in Ingolstadt. The Mayor of Anzing, Kathrin Alte, has extended an invitation to all interested parties to a meeting on July 16, 2023, at 7:30 PM in the New Town Hall.
This event offers a unique opportunity for attendees to exchange ideas with the members of the advisory board for equal opportunities. The website for the initiative can be found at www.bavariaruft.de, and interested parties can contact the initiative directly at [email protected].
However, specific details about the "Bavaria Calls" initiative are not readily available online. To find more information, it is recommended to check official Bavarian government or local Ingolstadt municipal websites, look for local or regional news coverage, search social networks, or contact local political offices or women's organizations in Ingolstadt directly.
The initiative, which is under the patronage of Ilse Aigner, President of the Bavarian Landtag, is a statewide, cross-party effort. Supporters of the initiative include Ilse Aigner, Katharina Schulze, Dr. Claudia Alfons, Kathrin Alte, the Bavarian Women's Council, the Catholic German Women's Federation (KDFB) Bavarian State Association, and the FidiP association - Women Engage in Politics.
In the city council of Ingolstadt, women are underrepresented, making up only 26% of the total 50 members, despite comprising half of the city's population. The distribution of members in the CSU faction is 14, with 10 being male and 4 being female, including Minister Dr. Dorothea Deneke-Stoll. The SPD faction consists of 9 members, with 7 being male and 2 being female. The FW faction has 4 members, with 3 being male and 1 being female, while the B'90/GRÜ faction has 7 members, with 3 being male and 4 being female, including Minister Petra Kleine.
The goal of the "Bavaria Calls" initiative is to win more women for a commitment in local politics one year before the 2026 local election. The city council decides on the living environment of the citizens, including issues like kindergartens, schools, childcare, and new housing areas. The next city council election in Ingolstadt will take place in spring 2026.
For those who wish to attend the meeting, participation is free and barrier-free, with no registration required. The Mayor of Ingolstadt, Dr. Michael Kern, from the CSU party, and the 2nd Mayor, Dr. Dorothea Deneke-Stoll, also from the CSU party, look forward to welcoming attendees. The 3rd Mayor, Petra Kleine, from the Alliance 90/The Greens party, is also a supporter of the initiative.
