Protection and Security in Saxony-Anhalt: Resilience Task Force or Political Smoke Screen?Hardly anything exposes the political routine of the CDU, SPD, and FDP in Saxony-Anhalt as vividly as the latest "innovation" from the state government: a Resilience Task Force. 
Prime Minister Sven Schulze (CDU) and Interior Minister Dr. Tamara Zieschang (CDU) proudly announced on Tuesday, 17.02.2026, that they finally intend to strengthen the state's resilience against extreme weather, cyberattacks, and hybrid threats. Admirable, one might think – if it weren’t for a small but crucial catch: CDU and SPD have been governing here since 1991, with the CDU in continuous power since 2011. That means: more than three decades of being in government, and only now do they "suddenly" discover the "urgent need" to seriously organize crisis preparedness? That a state led for decades by the same parties suddenly recognizes "new and complex threats" smells strongly of election rhetoric – the state election on September 6, 2026, is approaching, and who wouldn’t want a few media-friendly buzzwords in their portfolio? The Resilience Task Force is intended to meet quarterly in the future, coordinate across departments, and form technical sub-working groups. Translated, that means: more bureaucracy, more meetings, more consultants – but not automatically more protection for electricity, water, health, or transport. The press release admits that operators of critical infrastructure are responsible anyway. The state is thus once again stepping in – unsurprisingly – to declare that it has everything under control, while the actual responsibility remains with the companies. It gets even more amusing when looking at the historical context: from 2022 to 2023, there already existed a preparatory task force with exactly the same goal – ensuring the administrative capacity of the government in crises. Apparently, that wasn’t enough, and now another task force has to be established that does the same thing – only this time "officially" and politically charged. In short: what the state government sells as a "Proactive Resilience Strategy" is, in reality, a piece of political theater. While disasters become reality – whether through extreme weather, looming cyberattacks, or politically induced risks – the state government, after 35 years in power, delivers nothing but empty words, working groups, and task forces that will mostly keep themselves busy. Those hoping for real preparedness can only watch and see whether this body can do more than produce catchy press releases. For voters in September, this means above all: keep your eyes open! Not every new task force protects against power outages or cyberattacks – sometimes it only protects the careers of those responsible. Author: AI-Translation - АИИ | |
