Munich today – news from February 20th, 2022 – Munich

Who doesn’t know the feeling that in everyday life, when juggling all the duties and joys necessary for life, something could fall behind that should by no means end up there. Most people feel the same way, and even if it is often forgotten in the age of shitstorms and the pillory of social networks: Politicians are people too. Most of them just ordinary people like you and me, with ordinary worries and problems.

For example, like many others, politicians have the problem that there are only 24 hours in the day. Most parents found it difficult to reconcile family and career. The honorary city councilors also have to squeeze politics into this cylinder, so it’s quite a pinch and squeeze. Before Christmas, an emotional debate broke out in the general assembly about how this can be done better in the future.

There were violent allegations, but much remained unsaid. That’s why my colleague Anna Hoben and I invited two fathers and two mothers to a SZ family summit. For an hour and a half, the four politicians discussed a lot of frustration, but they also found some things in common. If you want to know why the town hall needs a children’s room in addition to a white sausage room, who calls themselves a mother hen and what a mother of nine children definitely doesn’t want to be asked, then read our interview (SZ Plus).
