Political Affairs - Wegner urges involvement in European voting.
In the lead-up to the European elections, six days prior to the voting day, Berlin's mayor, Kai Wegner, from CDU, urged citizens to exercise their right to vote. "Take action and cast your ballot on June 9th," he urged the residents of Berlin and beyond.
The European Union has been a significant factor in ensuring peace and freedom for its member states for a long time. He spoke on behalf of Berliners during a gathering in Mitte for the "Don't forget!" initiative, a campaign aiming to raise awareness for the European elections. "However, with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the war has returned to Europe," Wegner emphasized. "It's a stark reminder that security, peace, and freedom in Europe are not guaranteed. We must defend our democracy and our way of life."
The campaign, which kicked off on May 21st, features people with their eyes closed, signaling that they are indecisive and pondering. The campaign aims to highlight the personal connection each individual has with the European Union and its values, including peace, freedom, and security.
These images have been placed on various platforms - in Berliner Fenster in U-Bahn cars, offices, and on social media sites, along with online portals. As of Monday, the same images became visible on the digital spaces of Stroer across the city.
