Gessin – In the run-up to the state election in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the CDU’s direct candidate, Marc Reinhard, is seeking direct dialogue with local residents. He accepted an invitation to an open town hall meeting at the Mittelhof in Gessin to discuss current challenges facing rural areas.

The meeting in Gessin will focus on key issues facing rural areas: from regional development and strengthening village communities to supporting local cultural projects. Citizens are invited to share their questions, requests, and concerns directly. A central focus of the discussion will be how to ensure quality of life and sustainability in rural areas outside of metropolitan centers in the long term.
