Guido Déus, uns können Sie kein Mikro abdrehen!

Foyer Stadthaus, Donnerstag, 5. Februar um 16:15 MEZ

Kommt zur Demonstration vor der Stadtratssitzung im Stadthaus am Donnerstag, 05.02.2026, um ab 16:15 Uhr und sorgt für Transparenz in der Flugplatz-Affäre von Oberbürgermeister Guido Déus! ✈️😶‍🌫️

Seit Dezember steht der Oberbürgermeister für einen unlauteren Einflussnahmeversuch auf die Stadtwerke in der Kritik der Öffentlichkeit, mutmaßlich zugunsten eines CDU-Parteispenders, der sich einen Abstellort für seine Privatflugzeuge in Hangelar schnappen wollte. Wöchentlich veröffentlicht der General Anzeiger neue Details in der Flugplatz-Affäre, aber die Stadtverwaltung und die CDU verweigern Antworten.

Wir fordern schonungslose Transparenz!
