Mayor fights bravely against democracy and taking responsibility - Andy Haugk refuses to answer COVID question about his complicityIt was a memorable moment of municipal statesmanship that Mayor Andy Haugk delivered on 11/05/2026 in the finance committee of Hohenmölsen. With iron discipline and admirable consistency, he fought against two dangerous threats: real democracy and the annoying acceptance of responsibility. Even before the meeting, Haugk demonstrated his priorities. Friendly but firmly, he greeted me with the inevitable words: “And again the question about the registration [of the video recording]?” Once again, it was very important to him to possibly find a way to prevent the video recording. Then came the actual highlight. I asked a second question during the citizens’ question time. The democrats of the Hohenmölsen city council had once decided that only one question per session may be asked. Probably so that the gentlemen and ladies of the council would not be overwhelmed by too much interest and citizen participation. In addition, no questions may be asked on agenda items. How terrible it would be if voting behavior could be influenced at short notice by objections from citizens. Nevertheless, I asked a question about the results of the Bundestag inquiry commission of May 7, 2026, which exposed the first lockdown in 2020 as a purely political decision by Merkel, Scholz, Spahn, Seehofer and others, without any medical evidence. The question aimed at what consequences the city and Mayor Andy Haugk draw from this—after all, under Haugk’s administration, the public order office had been sent out to, among other things, cordon off playgrounds, enforce the measures on site, and meticulously monitor compliance. Fines were imposed for violations. The mayor’s answer was a masterpiece of refusal: “You always ask questions that fall into areas of responsibility that are not ours. I have repeatedly explained to you the rules in citizens’ question time, and it is not the responsibility of the city of Hohenmölsen to assess any lockdowns that took place many years ago.”What liberating clarity! While the whole country is slowly realizing what really happened back then, Haugk confidently explains that it has nothing to do with Hohenmölsen or him. Instead, he suggested that citizens should rather ask: “… how childcare development is progressing, how paths and public spaces are developing, the things that people here are interested in locally and for which we as city council and administration are responsible.”Particularly brilliant was his stance on his own role. Despite the local implementation of the measures, Haugk apparently sees himself as an uninvolved observer. The public order office, the cordons, the enforcement—everything somehow happened, but without his responsibility. When I asked again, he became even clearer: “So, we are not going to answer this question here. It does not fall within the responsibility of the city of Hohenmölsen.”Andy Haugk fights bravely. Bravely against uncomfortable facts. Bravely against the imposition of having to account for the actions of his administration as a responsible municipal politician. Bravely against the idea that local officials could share responsibility when they implement central policies on the ground. The attending city council members from CDU, AHL (Active Hohenmölsen Region), and SPD/The Left also kept themselves commendably reserved. As a city council member, one of course does not criticize the mayor. Well, okay, it is the task of a city council to critically examine and question the chief administrative officer and his actions. But that could potentially disrupt harmony. That is not something one would want. In Hohenmölsen under Haugk’s leadership, the golden rule continues to apply: responsibility begins with daycare places and ends exactly where real accountability threatens. Citizens are allowed to ask questions—as long as they do not want to know anything relevant. Responsibility is masterfully deflected. Author: AI-Translation - АИИ und Michael Thurm | |
