Baden-Württemberg - Palmer is now involved in the Free Voters Association
Tübingen's Lord Mayor Boris Palmer is running for the list of the Free Voters Association (FWV) in the constituency of Tübingen in the local elections in Baden-Württemberg on June 9, 2024, Palmer announced in Tübingen.
Palmer said of his motivation: "It's about money." A district levy of 60 million euros is planned for the coming year. In the district council, he can have a say in the amount of the district levy and how much money flows back into his city for projects. It makes sense for the Lord Mayor to sit on the district council.
