With 1568 yes to 1886 no, Suhr voters have definitely bid farewell to the future Aarau area merger project. The turnout was 62 percent. The next step in the merger process was specifically voted on: the drafting of merger agreements.
Suhr’s senior vice president has already heard: “The arguments to withdraw from the merger with Aarau were compelling and led to this result,” writes party chairman Beat Woodtli. “All that glitters is not gold.” Suhr decided in favor of direct democracy and wanted to remain independent. “Community meetings and information forums will remain and Suhr residents can continue to actively participate. Now all parties are being asked to contribute to Suhr’s development. Suhr is a trusted partner in the region.”
The Suhr municipal council, as the sole executive on the perimeter of the future space, had spoken in favor of no. Consequently, the mayor of Suhr, Marco Genoni, is satisfied: “We are satisfied with the clear result,” he says. Now it is about bringing the community back together. Suhr considers himself innovative: “The voters probably didn’t want to give this up because of something uncertain.”
Jürg Lienhard, chairman of the Suhr Pro-Future Space Committee, sees it very similarly, but with a different interpretation: “Voters have opted for the status quo over the uncertain, although it is not certain how long this status quo will last. “He speaks of a” great disappointment “and:” Suhr still behaves like a town, although it no longer is. “The community has about 10,400 inhabitants.
They have also done it, as of 27.9. – Densbüren and Suhr said no, although a referendum in Densbüren would still be possible, as the decision was made in the Gmeind and not directly at the polls. Signatures are reportedly being collected. Unterentfelden will not decide until October 18 (ballot box). Oberentfelden (community assembly) and Aarau (neighborhood council) have already said yes, although, as is known, signatures are being collected for a referendum in both communities. It already happened in Aarau.
