Minister-President Sven Schulze (CDU) presents new “empty-talk bags” collectionA great moment for the political textile industry: Sven Schulze has delivered. No laws, no measures, no concrete relief – but instead a collection of the finest political hot-air bags, tailor-made for everyday life between diesel prices and perseverance slogans. 
In a short clip from the MDR format “Wahlkreis Ost,” the Minister-President demonstrates what modern governance looks like today: you look concerned, you speak slowly, and you say sentences like: “Of course the state can’t regulate everything, but at some point it also has to step in.” A sentence like a warm scarf – comfortable to wear, completely useless against the storm outside. Schulze describes a situation that is indeed serious. Freight companies contact him and say: “We can no longer keep our trucks running.” Outpatient care services report: “We have the problem that we may no longer be able to visit some patients because it has simply become too expensive.” You almost want to pause for a moment. This is dramatic. This is concrete. This is exactly the point where politics would normally begin. But instead, something else begins here: the grand art of supervised inaction. Because after these sentences are spoken, nothing happens. No proposal, no measure, no plan. Just the reassuring certainty that the Minister-President has heard about it. And what does he do with this knowledge? He shares it. On Facebook. There, Sven Schulze continues: “What matters to me is listening to people, taking them seriously, and creating solutions that work in everyday life for everyone.” It’s touching. Truly. You can practically hear a guitar softly strumming somewhere in the background. “Listening” – this almost revolutionary concept that apparently had been criminally neglected until now. One can’t help but wonder whether the government previously worked with earplugs. Yet as poetic as this sentence may sound, it remains what it is: a promise without content. Because the announced “solutions that work in everyday life for everyone” remain as invisible in the clip as a punctual regional train in rural areas. The big question of “where the state must intervene – and where it must not” is also elegantly raised, only to be just as elegantly left unanswered. This is political fencing with a smoke grenade: you pose the right question and consistently avoid any form of answer. Meanwhile, the trucks stand still. Meanwhile, care services calculate whether the next home visit is still worth it. Meanwhile, the government produces… social media content. The conclusion is particularly well done. “Make Saxony-Anhalt stronger. Only with us.” proclaims the CDU with the self-assurance of a furniture store advertising a particularly sturdy-looking cabinet that unfortunately cannot be delivered. “Only with us” – it almost sounds like a threat when you consider how much has already happened “with them.” It becomes especially tragic – and at the same time unintentionally comical – when one recalls Schulze’s own self-description. The same Sven Schulze recently declared with remarkable confidence: “My contacts are of enormous benefit to Saxony-Anhalt. I have every important phone number.” A political phone joker, then, well connected into the farthest corners of Berlin and Brussels. Unfortunately, no one seems to pick up – or worse: calls are made, but afterward exactly what one would have expected without the call happens: nothing. Instead of initiating concrete relief measures at the state level, Schulze prefers to point elsewhere. Sometimes it’s the antitrust authority that is said to be “doing too little,” sometimes the federal government that must deliver. Responsibility is passed along with the elegance of a game of hot potato. There are contacts, there are numbers, there are conversations – what’s missing is precisely the one thing he was elected for: solutions that actually help. What remains is a performance that exemplifies how political communication works in 2026: problems are named, emotions are displayed, responsibility is hinted at – and concrete solutions are carefully avoided so they don’t have to be implemented by accident. One could almost say: if talk were diesel, Saxony-Anhalt would no longer have a problem. But unfortunately, trucks don’t run on words. And patients are not cared for through empathy alone. But don’t worry: The Minister-President has listened.
