“Germany needs more decisions, confidence, priorities and personalities,” emphasised Christian Wulff. He called on people to get involved in the democratic parties. A democratic society isn’t just the responsibility of politicians, but of every individual.
Around 50 company representatives and politicians met to discuss the challenges facing rural areas. “We must maintain the quality of life in rural areas,” said Christian Wulff. Politicians are also required to promote appropriate measures to strengthen the infrastructure. Fritz Keller agrees with this. “Many winegrowing businesses no longer have any successors,” he said.
Hans-Peter Fricke, owner and Managing Director of the FRICKE Group, also emphasised the importance of strengthening rural areas. He can understand why farmers are taking to the streets. “For us as a company, fulfilling our social responsibility is at the top of the agenda,” said Hans‐Peter Fricke. “The discussion confirmed our position and has given us ideas for the future. We all play a part in shaping our society. As entrepreneurs and citizens, our beliefs and action influence our environment.”
