As a former district administrator, I will be the parliamentary arm of the municipal family in Brussels. We stand for a Europe of regions, and within the regions, it is essential to strengthen municipalities and cities that ensure equal living conditions. No mutualization of debts: As the largest net contributor, Germany makes its solidarity contribution to the European Community. Therefore, all states of the Eurozone must be responsible and liable for their own debts. Securing the external borders: Just as we need skilled immigration, we must secure the external borders against illegal migration. Steering investments with sensible tax policy: For the transformation of the energy supply, I advocate a super deduction for renewable energy measures. This will enable a transformation with investment security and without subsidies.
