Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
Bier Für Holzminden	20	No	not before the vote. thats hard
Liberal Platform	4	No	Liberal Platform votes NO on the Veterans' Benefits Guarantee Act of 2023. While we deeply respect the dedication of our service members, true economic freedom and individual liberty depend on a limited state and fiscal responsibility. Replacing targeted support with open-ended government guarantees for housing, healthcare, and pensions creates an unsustainable fiscal burden on taxpayers and expands bureaucratic central planning. A free society thrives on market efficiency and equality of opportunity for all citizens, rather than state-mandated entitlements that distort free markets and create special privileges. We advocate for efficient, targeted veteran assistance that honors service without expanding government overreach or compromising economic liberty. Real progress for Holzminden is built on fiscal sanity, individual responsibility, and economic freedom. #LiberalPlatform 🗽
Union And National Renewal Proposer	16	Yes	No reason given
Workers' Alliance Of Holzminden	0	Yes	The Workers' Alliance Of Holzminden votes Yes. Guaranteed housing, healthcare, and pensions for veterans is welfare policy, not a defence budget increase — we can cut wasteful military spending and still honour the people who already served. Veterans are workers too, and they deserve the same dignity we're fighting to guarantee everyone else.
