Brenner route: the enigmatic role of the Ebersberg CSU – Ebersberg

The fact that the CSU campaigns for the interests of the residents of the Bahn at the Brenner inflow is to be commended – the path the party has chosen raises questions

So now a resolution, sounds better than a petition. The Ebersberg district council had already passed the latter twice, three and seven years ago. The content is essentially congruent with the paper that the CSU / FDP parliamentary group now wants to introduce in the district council: i.e., check detours for freight traffic, no new tracks in sensitive parts of the landscape, at least not above ground, and more consideration for those living next to the existing line. Everything is good and correct – but unfortunately it also shows that apparently little or nothing has changed on the part of those responsible for the railway expansion since 2014. In this context, it is interesting where the current resolution now originates.

The two MPs who represent the CSU in the Land and Bundestag act as the authors of the resolution. Two bodies where the Christian Socials were a ruling party at least until October – the same Christian Socials that still occupy the Federal and State Transport Ministry to this day. So: The party friends of the German transport minister and the Bavarian transport minister submit an application in the Ebersberg district council that it should determine that the district of Ebersberg does not consider the transport policy of the FRG and the Free State to be successful with regard to the Brenner inflow. That is interesting, especially when you consider that the CSU – not only in the district – likes to present itself as a party of short official channels. Hardly a party event does without the reference that CSU representatives from the district are to be found on all political levels, from local to European politics, which is why the district citizens are always in the best of hands with the Christian Socials. And then do you write a resolution?

There are several possible explanations that the CSU would like to take this detour: The most obvious is that you just want to get into conversation with the topic again. After all, the future of the railway line has been at least as quiet for some time as the residents would like it to be. But maybe you can already see a realignment here after the federal election: In a few weeks, the era of the CSU transport ministers will end in Berlin after twelve years. So when in the future there will be dissatisfaction among residents on a possible expansion route for the Brenner inflow, you can show with a grand gesture to Berlin – or send a resolution there.
