One of his latest post comments on the reactions of media on the subject: “How to cope with muslim children at school.” The SPD calls for separated swimming lessons or thoughtfulness during the “Ramadan”. The mayor now criticizes a newspaper article about the reaction of the CDU and thinks, that media is only copying the opinion of the CDU. From his point of view, this reaction shows racist tendencies. As a “real” blogger, he posts the newspaper article, but also the original material, which is object of the debate.
Surprisingly, he also adds some multimedia-material, which seems to be self-made. Some photos and a video with a summary of the photos show a local parking problem. This blog posts give the impression that he actually cares about local problems and also does some research.
He shows a big variety in subjects, the next post is about the revolution in Tunisia, so Rainer Zeimentz has published a post from “ReadWriteWeb”. But unfortunately, the next post is also from another blogger about the political winners in the election year 2011. That’s legitimate, but he could possibly comment it with some of his own words.
The older blog posts show his power: He blogs about social media and its use in local politics. That’s what local politicians should concentrate about and that’s how they reach the people in their region. And if they really want to start some opportunities for participation, they should do it like Rainer Zeimentz and invite the people for a discussion.
