Anton Hofreiter, a Bundestag representative and prominent member of the Green Party, will attend the Political Ash Wednesday event on February 18 in Ebenhausen, Germany, despite a recent leg fracture he sustained due to icy conditions. His participation was initially uncertain, leading to speculation among local Green Party branches in the region about whether he would be able to make it. However, Johanna von Kügelgen, from the local Schäftlarn branch, assured attendees just days before the event that Hofreiter would indeed attend, albeit with the aid of crutches.

The event will gather members from local party factions in Pullach, Baierbrunn, Schäftlarn, and Icking, where Hofreiter intends to discuss both municipal and district politics along with Marion Seitz, the contender for district council. In addition to speechmaking, the evening promises to create an interactive atmosphere, allowing for dialogue and discussions regarding local political issues within the community.

Hofreiter's attendance is notable not only for demonstrating his commitment to local engagement despite his injury, but it also reflects the Green Party's strategy of fostering close relations within the community. The political gathering serves as a platform for addressing issues important to the constituents and showcases Hofreiter's resilience and dedication to his constituents in the Munich district despite personal challenges.
