Bring with good life: May 1st Festival in Bonn for social justice!
On Wednesday, May 1, 2025, the alliance "Her with good life" organizes a political first May Festival on the Frankenbadplatz in Bonn. The beginning is scheduled for 3 p.m. This event aims to draw attention to the urgent topics of the housing crisis and present comprehensive solutions. The festival is accompanied by speeches, information stands and musical performances that address a variety of interests.
Among the musical articles are traditional Kurdish music, Stoner Rock from the band Lillim from Hanover, as well as a gentle techno set by Yanick Kuhnle. In addition, a workers' song choir is invited to underline the cultural diversity and the joint character of the event. For families there is childcare and the offer of food and drinks at solidary prices.
topic of the apartment crisis
A central focus of the festival is the apartment question, which is considered a social, economic and political crisis. This is characterized by a dramatic increase in rents and the disappearance of social living space. Many people are faced with a high rental load, which results in displacement and homelessness. Another problem is the empty living space that is increasingly being used as a return object.
The organizers therefore call for self -governing living space as well as the establishment of cooperatives and in particular the expropriation of large housing groups. Lukas Kuczmik, spokesman for the alliance, emphasizes: "Living is a basic need, not a speculation object." These statements illustrate how important it is to actively address the current challenges on the housing market and find solutions that meet the needs of the population.
preliminary event and other actions
already at 1 p.m. a demonstration entitled "HERE with good life - living space for everyone!" on the Bonn market square, which leads to the festival on the Frankenbadplatz. This preliminary event is intended to set a strong signal that the apartment question in Bonn and beyond is more urgent than ever. The alliance "Hear with good life" is made up of left -wing parties, social projects and initiatives that fight together for a fairer housing policy.
In addition, the presentation of approaches for a good life through various projects at information stands will take place on the festival. These are intended to convey ideas to the citizens of how the living situation in the region can be improved. The demands from the ranks of the alliance are clear: A change in housing policy must be made in order to guarantee a roof over the head that is not sacrificed to the financial profit striving for investors.
In view of the general developments in the housing market, there are numerous analyzes and studies that underpin the need for political interventions. In an analysis, the Bertelsmann Foundation notes that poor families in the 100 most populated cities in Germany in particular find hardly any access to adequate living space. These challenges make it clear that rethinking in housing policy is essential in order to promote social justice and prevent the division of society. Further information on the topic can be found on bpb.deOverall, the alliance expects a lively participation on May 1st and hopes to give the event an impetus for change. The return to the question of living is not only a local affair, but also has national and international dimensions that have increasingly moved into public awareness in recent years.
