The Grand Elite Club: How the Saxony-Anhalt Government Buys Influence with Tax Money and Mocks DemocracyIt almost seems too good to be true. The state government of Saxony-Anhalt posts a saccharine promotional clip on Facebook: photos of beaming politicians patting each other on the back, shaking hands, laughing as if they had just invented world peace. Accompanied by text that sounds like it was written by a PR consultant from the advertising agency “Lobbying & Co.” Title: “Saxony-Anhalt Evening: Where Influence Is Created.” 
Let’s dissect this piece of propaganda for a moment—not with kid gloves, but with a scalpel. Because this is a pure example of how our “representatives of the people” really operate: as a closed caste celebrating itself while the country watches from the outside. “Where influence is created.”Not “where policy is made for the citizens.” Not “where solutions are found for unemployment, migration, or crumbling schools.” No: influence. The word reeks of backroom deals, of crony networks, of the subtle line between democracy and oligarchy. Influence does not arise through elections, petitions, or the hard work of citizens. It is created at a chic Berlin party in the James Simon Gallery. Among 400 handpicked guests from “politics, business, culture, and society.” Translated: those who already have everything meet so they can get even more.“An evening that is priceless for Saxony-Anhalt.”Priceless. Really? For whom? Certainly not for the taxpayer in Bitterfeld or Stendal. They are the ones paying for it—with low welfare payments, high energy bills, and fear of the next electricity price hike. But for gentlemen like Schulze, Haseloff, and Merz, it is of course “priceless”—because they themselves pay nothing. The taxpayer finances the canapés, the champagne, the travel, the security, and the elegant venue. And in the end, the official record notes: “Contacts are made.” How romantic.“In conversations and personal encounters, contacts are formed and topics are placed.”Here, the language of the marketing department is used to make corruption socially acceptable. “Placing topics”—it sounds like running an ad campaign for laundry detergent. Except this is about billion-euro contracts, subsidies, laws, and positions. Personal encounters. Handshakes. Winks. Exactly what citizens have hated for years: politics as a VIP club where people pass the ball to each other while telling the public they need to “tighten their belts.”“Essential so that Saxony-Anhalt is heard when decisions are made in political Berlin.”This is the real scandalous sentence. Translated, it means: without this fancy party in Berlin, Saxony-Anhalt would not even register in federal politics. The state government is effectively admitting publicly: we are so weak, so powerless, so insignificant that we have to prostitute ourselves with 400 guests and a photo with Chancellor Merz just to be heard. What a disgrace! And at the same time, the perfect exposure of the system: those who don’t attend don’t count. Those who aren’t in the network have already lost.And then there is the “special” aspect of the evening: Reiner Haseloff is “farewelled” after 15 years in office. With a pat on the back from the new chancellor. Sven Schulze, freshly crowned, finally gets to play host himself. A смена of the guard in the elite club. The old men leave, the next old men arrive. Everything stays the same. Only the taxpayer remains outside the door. The video clip, made up entirely of photos—radiant faces, perfect teeth, expensive suits—is a visual confession. Not a single citizen, no caregiver, no craftsman, no young person fleeing the state. Just the caste among themselves. Cheerfully greeting each other. Cheerfully nodding along. Cheerfully letting influence “emerge.” This is not politics. This is a closed social event of power. Funded with taxpayer money. Wrapped in fine words. And tagged with #moderndenken, a hashtag so cynical it almost hurts. Modern thinking? This is the 19th century in its purest form: the nobility gathers, the people watch. While villages in Saxony-Anhalt are dying, schools are decaying, the economy is stagnating, and people feel left behind, the government celebrates itself in Berlin. And then proudly posts on Facebook: “Look how important we are!” Thank you for the honesty. Once again, we now know where your “influence” really comes from: not from us. But from you. Among yourselves. Against us.
