  • Current position of the Group

    It is with great regret that yesterday we took note of the decision of our group chairman Cosimo Jankowitsch to resign all his offices and political mandates in the local council of Dernbach and the Verbandsgemeinde Wirges. His move came as a surprise to us, and we would have liked to have had a personal exchange with him beforehand.

    We would like to thank him for his efforts so far and his commitment to our home village Dernbach. He brought our group together, campaigned with passion and even as a candidate for mayor he achieved a respectable election result from the standpoint. We cannot understand his motives, which he only hints at in his contribution. Even if we would have wished for a continuation of the joint work, we have no choice but to accept his decision.

    Since we were not prepared for the situation, we have to reorganize the next few days. In any case, we want to pursue our concern and goal of working with full force for a Dernbach that is worth living and sustainable.

    We would like to thank all those who continue to place their trust in us and who would like to work together with us on a better future for Dernbach. We look forward to the challenges that lie ahead and remain optimistic that we will tackle them for the benefit of our citizens.

    Your group "Together for Dernbach"

  • Take a look at our first meeting

    On 28 August 2024, the first meeting of the newly elected municipal council took place in the community centre of Dernbach. We, the members of the Yankovich electoral group, We are pleased that six of us have been appointed as new members of the Council. This is an important step on our way to actively shape our community and represent the interests of the citizens of Dernbach.

    First personnel decisions – a new beginning?

    The re-elected mayor Ferdi Düber and the CDU parliamentary group have promised us a good cooperation. With this in mind, we also voted with the CDU parliamentary group in the elections of the first two associates (and representatives of the mayor). The list of committee members proposed by both political groups was adopted unanimously.

    Despite our good election result with almost a third of the votes and seats in the Council, however, the position of third associate was also awarded to a candidate of the CDU. It is particularly regrettable that our proposal to elect Gebhard Schmidt as a committed and highly qualified candidate with proven leadership quality was apparently unanimously rejected by the CDU parliamentary group.

    What's next?

    This result gives us cause for concern and we are excited to see what the announced good cooperation will look like in practice. In any case, we are happy to accept the offer that Cosimo, as our group leader, can participate in the meetings with the mayor and deputy mayors. This gives us the opportunity to contribute our ideas and concerns directly and to be heard at the decisive points. We are ready to work constructively with all Council members and the top management and hope that this will be based on reciprocity.

    Our goal is to inform all Dernbachers regularly about our council work. We invite all interested parties to get involved with us and to contribute their ideas, so that together we can create a liveable and sustainable village.
