We perused the responses of the new Gulf councillors: only one issue on which they almost agree

59 elected councillors will take office in the summer. Before the elections, some of the questions on the ballot paper also divided opinion within the parties.

The municipal elections will once again change things in the Lahti City Council. Yle took a look at the answers given by the new councillors in Yle’s voting machine before they were elected.

The decision-makers will certainly have a twist in front of them. There are few issues on which those who get through are unanimous.

The new council will take office in the summer. The SDP will continue to be the largest party in the Lahti City Council, with the Coalition Party remaining the second largest party. The biggest change is that the number of seats for the Finns has fallen to less than half.

The quotes raised in the story come from the election machinery of new delegates.

Balancing the economy divides opinion, united by ideas about Lahti Energia

Roughly viewed, opinions are distributed in many issues according to the Left-right line.

Representatives of the new city council are very disagreement, for example, a hotel planned for the Alatori, the economic balancing of the economy and the reduction of meat food in schools and day care centers.

Some of the topics also share opinions within the parties. For example, there is no strong consensus on Alator’s hotel plans, even within all parties.

There were also topics on the election issues, most of which the new municipal councilors agreed.

Lahti has not succeeded in achieving its previous carbon neutral target. However, in the electoral machine, the majority of Lahti representatives felt that the municipality should achieve carbon neutrality before Finland’s target year 2035.

If the new council changes the bus service according to the electoral machine’s responses, local buses will no longer circulate through the market.

Lahti Energia is the only thing that is unlikely to cause a debate. Almost all of the selected in the electoral machine responded that the company should be held owned by the city.
