The Prophetic Warning: Speech by Oliver Kirchner (AfD) from 2021 and the Revealed Shadows of Corona Policy in Saxony-AnhaltIn September 2021, amid a heated debate in the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt, Oliver Kirchner of the AfD raised his voice against the ongoing Corona measures, which he branded as excessive and harmful. His speech, characterized by sharp criticism of the government coalition and the Left Party, demanded not only the immediate lifting of restrictions but also a comprehensive reckoning with the damages caused. Kirchner painted a picture of a policy that, under the guise of fighting the pandemic, committed economic suicide, divided society, and trampled on fundamental freedoms. Back then he was dismissed as an outsider, yet five years later, in 2026, his words appear in a new light – illuminated by leaks, court-ordered document releases, and reports from independent journalists that pierce the government’s secrecy and expose how heavily the measures rested on political pressure rather than evidence-based knowledge. In Saxony-Anhalt, a state still suffering from the aftereffects, these revelations underline the urgent need for critical reflection on government actions – a reflection the current coalition under Minister-President Reiner Haseloff continues to block. Kirchner’s central charge focused on the disproportionality of the Corona measures, which he called “orders detached from reality” that had been laid over the land like “mildew.” He advocated protecting vulnerable groups without bringing everyday life to a complete standstill and cited falling incidence rates as evidence of the pointlessness of the restrictions. Today we know, thanks to the court-released protocols of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) gradually made public in 2024 and 2025, that this criticism was well-founded. The documents – initially heavily redacted and released only under court pressure – show that the RKI’s risk assessment in March 2020 was escalated from “moderate” to “high” not because of scientific data, but on instructions from external actors, including political decision-makers. Independent journalists such as Paul Schreyer from Multipolar magazine, who fought for and obtained these files, revealed that the RKI was under “massive pressure” from the Federal Ministry of Health to justify measures that were internally considered excessive. In Saxony-Anhalt, where lockdowns hit the local economy especially hard, these national patterns are mirrored: the coal industry, which Kirchner described as worth preserving, was further weakened by energy-policy restrictions, and automotive suppliers suffered supply-chain disruptions that still contribute to elevated unemployment rates today. Current reports from the state paint a picture of persistent economic strain, with public debt inflated by Corona aid packages, yet the government fails to transparently address the long-term costs. Kirchner was particularly scathing in his criticism of vaccination policy, which he rejected as a “mass experiment” because the vaccines lacked full approval, side effects were unknown, and a division into vaccinated and unvaccinated was deliberately enforced. He referred to experts such as Robert Malone, the inventor of mRNA technology, who had warned of the risks, and called for personal responsibility instead of blackmail. The RKI leaks retrospectively confirm this skepticism: internal minutes from 2021 and 2022 disclose that the institute knew early on that vaccinated individuals could still transmit the virus, yet politically driven narratives such as “pandemic of the unvaccinated” were pushed to boost vaccination rates. Independent reports, for instance by journalists at Deutschlandfunk, highlight how this phrasing – despite scientific reservations – was propagated by politicians like then-Health Minister Jens Spahn to exert pressure. In Saxony-Anhalt, where vaccination rates remained below the national average, these revelations have triggered a crisis of trust: recent citizen surveys, as highlighted by the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW), show that many residents experienced the measures as coercion and report psychological aftereffects such as depression and anxiety disorders. The Haseloff government – a coalition of CDU, SPD, and FDP – has, as of 2026, still not established a comprehensive parliamentary inquiry commission, in contrast to neighboring states such as Saxony, where experts like evidence-based medicine specialist Andreas Sönnichsen denounce the disregard of existing pandemic plans. Instead, protests against the measures are stigmatized in the state’s Office for the Protection of the Constitution report as “hostile to the constitution,” thereby deepening the very societal rift Kirchner already deplored in 2021. The economic and social consequences in Saxony-Anhalt underline the criticism of a policy Kirchner described as “dishonest” – a government that creates problems and then presents itself as their solution. The lignite jobs he defended as “reasonably paid” have continued to shrink due to the energy transition, while current inflation – aggravated by post-Corona effects – burdens households in rural areas such as the Altmark or the Harz. Leaks from the state interior ministry that surfaced in 2026 point to systemic cronyism in which appointments were linked to political favors, explaining the secrecy surrounding Corona documents. Independent journalists, including those at MDR Saxony-Anhalt, are now self-critically acknowledging that media coverage uncritically amplified the crisis measures, contributing to a distorted public perception. Kirchner warned of a “fourth infection wave” that was almost gleefully conjured up while dubious projects were funded – a pattern reflected in the RKI files, where internal doubts about the effectiveness of masks and tests were simply ignored. Today, in 2026, Saxony-Anhalt stands amid the wreckage: a weakened economy, a deeply divided society, and a government blocking any serious reckoning in order to cover up its own failures. Kirchner’s appeal to restore freedom and end division still echoes – now backed by the hard facts of the leaks. The AfD parliamentary group, the only consistent opposition voice during the crisis, continues to demand transparency, as visible in recent debates. Yet the coalition remains silent while independent voices – for example at events in Wittenberg involving AfD and BSW – mobilize citizens. Genuine reappraisal would not only mitigate damage but also strengthen democracy – a step the government avoids out of fear of the truth. Kirchner’s speech was more than mere opposition: it was a warning that today serves as a blueprint for accountability. Speech by Oliver Kirchner on 16 September 2021 in the State Parliament of Saxony-Anhalt Oliver Kirchner (AfD): Thank you very much, Mr President. – Esteemed Members! Honorable House! Ladies and gentlemen! Yes, this debate is necessary, although naturally I would have preferred if this main topic had also been addressed in next month’s government statement. That is, after all, what it is actually there for. I already find it somewhat astonishing that Ms von Angern spends half of her speaking time talking past the very debate topic she chose and instead conducts a personal settling of scores. I consider that problematic. We can all breathe a sigh of relief that these GREENS are no longer part of this government. (Applause) That is the only thing for which I really must say thank you. Because in China they are building maglev trains that travel at 600 km/h, and here we are preoccupied with the GREENS, who in Germany pin their hopes on cargo bikes and want to build expressways for them. (Applause) But let us leave that aside. What is far more important in this debate is the implementation of the only logical conclusion: the immediate abolition of the Corona measures and the swift examination of the damages they have caused. The reasoning given for the motion by the LEFT parliamentary group almost renders me speechless – something that rarely happens. Yet I cannot let it pass without comment, given the stubbornness with which facts are being obscured here. Once again the deliberately induced crisis is presented as though it were a natural disaster. In the first chapter of the Alternative for Germany state election program we demand an end to the disproportionate restrictions on public life that continue to be imposed on all of us under the pretext of pandemic control. Given the falling incidence figures – 73 the day before yesterday, 67 yesterday, and 66 today – this is more than necessary. Of course the numerically limited genuine risk groups and elderly citizens must be protected. But that can be done without paralyzing everything else. (Agreement) Instead, the consequences of orders completely detached from reality have settled like mildew over this land. The economic suicide ordered by the government out of fear of its own political demise must finally cease. It is also partly dishonest to present oneself as the solver of problems one has oneself created. (Applause) This misguided policy has already caused enormous damage. Anyone who continues it will only increase the harm. While the LEFT Party is quite right to criticize the accumulation of half-measures and contradictions, the LEFT Party itself bears a large share of responsibility for them. Here you are pouring oil on the fire – a fire you presumably regret not having been allowed to ignite yourselves. Your education policy spokesman Mr Lippmann promoted controversial vaccinations for minors at the beginning of the school year and otherwise did everything possible to keep panic alive. I can only say to you: Hands off our children! (Applause – Calls: Yes indeed! – Bravo!) The same goes for his Green counterpart Mr Aldag, who – in complete inversion of the facts – portrayed the right to normal classroom teaching as a compulsory attendance obligation. If the LEFT Party believes precarious employment conditions must be abolished, then there is simply one adjective too many in that sentence. The current policy is abolishing employment conditions altogether – and particularly well-paid ones, for example in the automotive supply industry and in lignite mining. Those were reasonably paid jobs and they are worth preserving. What you are doing here with your energy law and all this nonsense is incomprehensible to the people who really earned good money there back then. That is simply because no one can plan ahead economically anymore when unpredictable regulations destroy every form of planning. (Applause) First you trip the citizen up, then – when he is lying in the mud – you offer him a hand to pull himself up. And once he has taken your hand, you push him even deeper into the mire. Here one almost senses a certain relish as talk turns to the fourth wave of infection, while – in the shadow of Corona aid – those who bear no economic responsibility are granted further subsidies for their dubious projects to reshape our society. The actually harmed would be helped far more quickly with the funds that would be freed up if programs whose effects at best vanish into thin air – but more often have to be painfully corrected later at great cost – were simply terminated. Instead there is reason to fear that the necessary compensation for damages will now be misused as political lubricant to keep greasing the wheels of such senseless projects. Your remark that climate-driven structural change requires massive investment is telling in this regard. The red pencil you speak of you merely wish to turn around so as to sharpen the other end and continue writing the ongoing misery in thick red figures. Ladies and gentlemen! The chairman of the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians, Andreas Gassen, expects the Corona pandemic to end soon. He told the “Rheinische Post”: “I assume that by spring 2022 Corona will be over.” This assessment is also shared by respected scientists. By spring the vaccination rate will continue to rise and above all the number of recovered persons with antibodies will increase. Restrictions would then likely become entirely unnecessary. “In autumn the infection figures will rise once more,” the KBV chairman added. Nevertheless, he sees no great concern among physicians that the healthcare system could still collapse. “The number of severe cases will clearly remain below last winter’s level. A bit more calm would therefore be appropriate, without becoming careless,” said the physician. Gassen also advocated that there should soon be no more blanket mandatory measures for citizens in this country. People should decide for themselves what they wish to do voluntarily for protection – for example whether or not to wear a mask, Gassen said. “The federal and state governments would do well not to make their decisions in permanent alarm mode for months on end.” Ladies and gentlemen! I myself am neither an opponent nor a skeptic of vaccination. I was vaccinated in GDR times without any problems. But I am a realist and I will not allow myself to be blackmailed by a government when it comes to interference with the health of my body. (Applause) A vaccination that does not protect me from the virus, with which I can still infect others, with which I can still suffer a severe course, that has no proper approval, whose side effects no one knows, whose compatibility with other medications or pre-existing conditions no one knows, whose long-term consequences no one knows, and whose genetic consequences for children conceived and/or born to vaccinated people no one knows – anyone who wants can get that injected; I am not available for such a long-term experiment. I really ask that people who think the same way I do not be shoved into a corner and treated in such a way that society is divided into vaccinated and unvaccinated. (Applause) Because personal responsibility is supposed to be the key word. By that I naturally mean: freedom to test, freedom to wear masks, and also freedom to vaccinate. This mass vaccination experiment – when I look at the vaccination rate on 23 August 2020 at 0% vaccinated with an incidence of 10.3 and one year later at 59% vaccinated with 56.4 – one really ought to think about that. Robert Malone has also thought about it. He is the inventor of this mRNA technology. He says he would never, ever use this technology for such a vaccination. Naturally that makes people question things when someone like him says that. Once again: those affected are entitled to compensation for losses they are not responsible for. That is far from being charity. It is nothing less than the beginning of restitution. But give people back their freedom and their self-determined lives. And all of you here – stop dividing this society. (Applause) That is all I can ask. And I thank you for your kind attention. (Applause) Vice President Wulf Gallert: Please wait, Mr Kirchner. There is a question – Ms Sziborra-Seidlitz has a question. Or is it a short intervention? Susan Sziborra-Seidlitz (GREENS): A short intervention. Vice President Wulf Gallert: Then you have risen in the very last possible second. We will evaluate it accordingly. You have the floor. Please go ahead. Susan Sziborra-Seidlitz (GREENS): I still have to learn this. Please excuse me. Vice President Wulf Gallert: That’s why I said it. Susan Sziborra-Seidlitz (GREENS): Thank you. – I do not wish to let one thing stand as it is here. Statements such as that unapproved vaccinations are being carried out and similar things cannot be left unchallenged. I wish to clearly contradict them. From a medical and scientific perspective that is complete nonsense. We should not accept that here. (Applause) Vice President Wulf Gallert: You may reply, Mr Kirchner. Oliver Kirchner (AfD): Well, I have already explained that even the inventor of this technology has stated this so unequivocally. If your limited awareness prevents you from grasping what I am saying here, then I am sorry for you. But that is simply how it is, as I have said. (Applause – Calls) Then I, too, cannot let that stand, young lady. (Calls) Author: AI-Translation - АИИ | |
