Dirk Neubauer, District Administrator of Central Saxony, resigned unexpectedly in the summer. First deputy Lothar Beier is now in charge. The new election is on January 26.

After the premature resignation of Central Saxony's district administrator Dirk Neubauer (non-party), the first deputy Lothar Beier will continue in office. Officially, he is not taking over the office of district administrator, as the district administration office in Freiberg announced. However, his power of representation, like that of the district administrator, is legally all-encompassing and unlimited.

It is a special situation, emphasized Beier. "We have several major challenges in the coming months, the focus will be on drawing up the budget". He said that constructive, objective and goal-oriented cooperation was important to him in the committee's work, as had already become clear at previous meetings.

Dirk Neubauer announced his resignation in July - after just two years in office. He justified this with a "diffuse threat situation from the right-wing corner" and a lack of opportunities to assert himself against a conservative majority in the region. A new district administrator will be elected in Central Saxony on January 26.
