Municipal Elections 2026: MERA25 Kassel presents Its programme at Café Buchoase

MERA25 Kassel invites all interested residents to attend a public campaign event eight days before the municipal elections. The event offers an opportunity to learn about the campaign’s key ideas and faces, and to engage directly with the candidates.

The focus of the event will be the presentation of the election programme and the lead candidate for the City Council, Sina Albrecht. The campaign posters and the further planned events leading up to election day will also be presented.

Sina Albrecht studies computer science and musicology and has been politically active since childhood, particularly in the fields of environmental protection, inclusion and social participation. Her political priorities include data protection, digital security, cultural diversity and strengthening the link between art and politics. She also supports cultural institutions and integration projects on a voluntary basis. She has been a member of DiEM25 and MERA25 since May 2025 and is standing as a candidate in the 2026 municipal elections for the City Council of Kassel.

“I want to actively support the development of Kassel with forward-looking and innovative policies. For a social and inclusive politics that sustainably strengthens the diversity of artistic and cultural life in Kassel,” said Sina Albrecht, MERA25 lead candidate for the Kassel City Council.

MERA25 is contesting the municipal elections with a socially just, environmentally oriented and democratic programme. Its central political priorities include affordable housing, the expansion of social housing, a public transport system that is free of charge in the long term, the promotion of cultural diversity and an inclusive, barrier-free city. Other candidates for the City Council include Michael Stade, who particularly advocates for stronger citizen participation and a greater role for district councils.

The programme presentation is part of a series of public campaign events. In addition to this event, a “MERA25 Documentary Day” will take place on 20 February at Café Buchoase, featuring screenings of political documentary films followed by discussions. Both events aim to engage residents in dialogue about concrete political goals and solutions for Kassel.

Admission is free. Due to limited capacity, registration via the “Register” button is requested.
