According to a report by www.swr.de Next Sunday, a new district administrator will be elected in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district chosenThe only candidate on the ballot is Andreas Hackethal, who CDU represents. The district extends over the Eifel, Mosel and Hunsrück regions and is strongly influenced by issues such as viticulture, tourism and agriculture, which will also concern the new district administrator. Since the district reform in 1969, a CDU candidate has always held the office of district administrator in the district. Andreas Hackethal, who has been mayor of the unified municipality of Morbach since 2011, is the only candidate and would like to work particularly for the safety of farmers and winemakers in order to preserve the cultural landscape.
Furthermore, Hackethal plans to expand and strengthen disaster protection and to prepare more for demographic change in order to give citizens the opportunity to grow old in their own homes. He also stresses the importance of decentralized accommodation for refugees and asylum seekers in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district. Other parties such as the SPD, FDP and Free Voters have not put forward their own candidates for the district election. The reasons for this lie, among other things, in the private life plans of the potential candidates. The AfD considers Andreas Hackethal to be a competent candidate and sees him as a good choice for the office. The incumbent district administrator Gregor Eibes (CDU) is retiring after 14 years in office and will not run again. In 2011 he prevailed against five competitors, which meant a higher number of candidates than in this year's election.
