By you, by us, and by many Maastricht residents alongside us who love this city and work on it every day. In neighborhoods and districts, at school and at work, on the street and in their associations. People who are proud of where they come from and curious about where we&#8217;re heading. People who know: progress begins when you dare to make choices.<br><br>This program is for those who want to move forward. For those who believe Maastricht can be more than what it was and that politics should be about more than preservation or management. D66 chooses a city that dares to build, innovate, and set direction. A municipality and community where we dream big and start small. A Maastricht that doesn&#8217;t drift at the edge of the Netherlands but flows from the heart of Europe.<br><br>Maastricht is a city of opportunities. Historic yet progressive. International yet close-knit. Elegant and down-to-earth, but also about taking action and pushing forward. With neighborhoods where people know each other, makers and entrepreneurs, and students who see their future here. The strength is there, and a strong brand too. Now it&#8217;s time to make sure that works for more Maastricht residents. That means: choosing what truly makes the difference and makes our city stronger.<br><br>D66 chooses to build the city of tomorrow. Starting with more homes, for example around the station. To invest heavily in talent, education, and the healthiest generation ever. To create space for entrepreneurs and development. For streets that become greener and cooler and where every child can safely walk or cycle to school. And social interaction and movement in every neighborhood of our city. Because the future deserves policy, not coincidence.<br><br>In this program you&#8217;ll find D66&#8217;s choices. But we don&#8217;t build the Maastricht of tomorrow from the council chamber. We do it together. On the street, at school, and in the neighborhood. By seizing opportunities and by taking responsibility. That&#8217;s why we invite you to read this program, explore our website, and talk to our candidates, with the question: what city do you want to live in and what can you do to contribute to it. And we ask you specifically: will you join us?\t<\/p>\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"block-text-title__sidebar\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":697,"featured_media":2048,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"themes-or-point-of-view":[],"labels":[],"search-tags":[],"class_list":["post-2096","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>D66 Maastricht &#8212;
