Opposition Leader Thering: Course Harms the City - CDU Leader Warns Hamburg's Climate Referendum Could Bring Harm
Dennis Thering, the leader of the CDU faction, has raised concerns about Hamburg's climate neutrality referendum. He warns that it may bring harm to the city and has criticised Mayor Tschentscher and the SPD for their approach to the referendum.
The referendum, backed by the initiative 'Hamburger Zukunftsentscheid' and supported by groups like Fridays for Future, aims to accelerate Hamburg's climate neutrality. However, Thering believes it could lead to negative consequences.
Thering has slammed the SPD's strategy of hoping for a low turnout, describing it as 'politically naive and strategically reckless'. He also predicts that the referendum could result in rising rents for Hamburg residents.
Dennis Thering's warnings come as Hamburg prepares for the climate neutrality referendum. While the initiative has gained support from various groups, Thering's concerns highlight potential challenges that the city may face regarding climate change.
