Climate-denier Mayor Martin Papke (CDU) promotes waste of tax funds and CO2 emissionsOh how wonderfully progressive this Mayor Martin Papke of the CDU is! A true visionary who wants to turn Weißenfels 2026 into a shining “showcase of the Bundeswehr”. Bravo, Mr. Papke! While Lauterbach warns that the world is drowning in the climate crisis, Papke is promoting the burning of tax money and kerosene on such a scale that even a coal power plant would become jealous. A true hero of our time – or rather: a hero of the fossil industry and military waste. 
On June 6, 2026, the market square, the city balcony, and the bathing areas along the Saale riverbank are set to become a festival ground for tanks, Tornado jets, and low-level flights. Particularly “impressive” are the announced low passes: Eurofighter Typhoon, Airbus A400M, A330 MRTT, and the P-8A Poseidon. Multiple low-altitude flyovers, numerous heavy military transporters and fighter jets thundering at full throttle over a peaceful small town. This is not a family festival, it is a CO2 orgy in public space, financed with our taxes. CDU Mayor Papke, this apparently not-so-climate-forward leader, stands smiling next to generals and praises the “close connection between city, Bundeswehr and population.” How sustainable! How future-oriented! While citizens are almost stigmatized for every flight, the CDU politician here celebrates the burning of tens of thousands of liters of kerosene – just so that a few children can see a Eurofighter up close. One might ask: How many daycare centers, how many schools, how many solar installations on municipal rooftops could have been built and operated with this money? How many heat pumps for low-income families? How many climate protection projects that would actually make a difference? Instead, there are “engine-pulling” demonstrations with a Fuchs armored personnel carrier and tactical casualty care under combat conditions. Very family-friendly. Very future-oriented. And then the cynical advertising for recruitment: In times when young people should actually be fighting the climate crisis, the Bundeswehr is being presented as a cool employer with great technology and “personal encounters.” Come on, youth! Pay ever-increasing climate taxes and levies, but become part of one of the state’s biggest CO2-spewing and resource-wasting machines. Armaments are, of course, super sustainable – as long as you don’t see the bombed landscapes and burned fossil fuels. The Bundeswehr is not sustainable. Armaments are not sustainable. Tanks, jets, and warships do not run on wind power and good intentions. Every Eurofighter flyover is a middle finger extended toward the Paris Climate Agreement. But for Mr. Papke, that seems to be no problem. The main thing is that the Bundeswehr “becomes part of the center of society.” The climate crisis simply takes a break in Weißenfels on June 6. It is quite remarkable with what audacity a CDU mayor in 2026 promotes an event that feels like an advertisement for the fossil military machine. While we are all urged to fly less, heat less, and consume less, Martin Papke is delighted about a spectacle in which the sky roars and taxpayers foot the bill. Respect, Mr. Papke. You have truly taken climate protection seriously – as an opponent. Weißenfels 2026 will not only be a showcase of the Bundeswehr, but also a monument to irresponsible politics: on the one hand, climate protection is hypocritically claimed, while on the other hand CO2 is pumped into the atmosphere with both hands. Thank you for this strong signal. The youth will remember it. And so will the climate movement.
