Bürgerschaft convenes March 2 to elect new vice president and debate university funding
The Bürgerschaft will hold its first session of 2026 on Monday, March 2. The meeting starts at 5:00 PM and will be broadcast live for the public to follow. A key item on the agenda is the election of a new second vice president after Kira Wisnewski's resignation.
The session's agenda includes an urgent debate on the financial situation of the University of Greifswald. This request came from the CDK parliamentary group, though no recent public details exist on the university's funding challenges or past discussions since 2024.
Residents can watch the proceedings live via a link on the city's website or the Citizen Information System. The full session will also be uploaded later to the city's YouTube channel for those unable to tune in. Alongside the vice president election, the agenda has been published in full on the city's official platforms. No further updates on the university's finances have been provided ahead of the debate.
The Bürgerschaft's March 2 session will address leadership changes and financial concerns at the University of Greifswald. Live coverage ensures public access to the discussions, with recordings available afterwards. The outcomes of the debate and election will be documented in the session's official records.
