In the municipal Council are hardened the fronts between the SP and the FDP, at the latest since the termination of the Historic Parking compromise. Single person alien to provoke, apparently, so much so that a cooperation is stressed, as the recent spat in the Council.
Last week, the Zurich municipal Council decided unanimously, that a so-called special Commission, “municipal public buildings and facilities of the city of Zurich/traffic” (BeKo SLÖBA/V) deals with the local structure plans. In view of the wide scope of the business to take care of a specially assembled Commission to the shops. This includes 17 representatives of all the parties, the Bureau is of the SP so far, so uncontroversial.
Denoth polarized
That the SP has now proposed but their Co-party presidents, Marco Denoth , for the Bureau of the Commission, do not want to accept the FDP. “We demand that the SP proposes an Alternative,” confirms the liberal group President Michael Schmid on request. Denoth had expressed several times recently as a “dogmatic SP-President” in the media. “So the confidence that he can lead the Commission and compromise foster is missing us,” says Schmid.
Last Denoth hit the headlines, because he said to the termination of the Historic Parking compromise, the immediate withdrawal of 770 Parking spaces were a little far. In September, Denoth called for in the NZZ a turning point in the housing policy. As in Munich, the city should set up in Zurich zones, to need where it for demolition, alterations, refurbishment and change of rental property apartments special permits in order to devalue such property.
“Two hats”
Both of these attitudes to the FDP to push very sour. Their representatives failed yesterday evening in the office of the municipal Council Denoth support. Therefore, the choice is now before the municipal Council.
Denoth defended on the request: “I am aware that as President of the Commission, and as party politicians of different hats.” He was now after seven years, long enough in the Council and have been shown time and again willing to compromise. Some of its initiatives with the other parties ‘ witnesses. And three years ago, the building – zone regulations was advised, he contributed, in collaboration with the present-day FDP councillor Michael Baumer is essential to find compromises. So the compression has been implemented in Districts such as schwamendingen with his Eye.
against the candidate of the FDP
The BeKo SLÖBA/V should be able to starting on Wednesday with the municipal master plans deal. The main topics of the future building density of the city and dealing with the Parking lot, after the city Council terminated the historic compromise.
It speaks, however, much to suggest that Denoth will lead this special Commission, because the FDP is a lack of the allies. Reportedly not even the SVP will support the liberals. Because the SP keeps on Denoth as a candidate, it is necessary to set up the FDP’s own candidacy. This will be discussed in our group meeting, says group President Schmid. The election of the Bureau for the special Commission will take place tomorrow evening in the Council.
