Brilliant! Another landmark achievement of the state government: the “Youth Policy Program” – simply brilliant!


On May 26, 2026, our extraordinarily far-sighted state government, in an act of the highest statesmanlike wisdom, adopted the new, updated Youth Policy Program.



And what can one say? Chapeau! A true masterpiece of politics. Finally a binding mandate – at least that is what the press release says. How refreshing! How courageous! How… heavy on paper.

One immediately notices: real visionaries have been at work here. The leaflet reads like a poem from the Ministry of Beautiful Words. “We have understood.” “We support.” “We are working on it.” Simply perfect. Finally no empty promises, but… well… very beautifully phrased empty promises. The bla-bla factor reaches Olympic proportions here. Gold medal!

And anyone wanting to know more can even find on the ministry’s website under Youth Policy Program Saxony-Anhalt – explained briefly two videos that were uploaded to YouTube five years ago. One has a whopping 278 views. And the other video, in which the Minister of Labor, Social Affairs, Health and Equality, Petra Grimm-Benne, answers questions, has already been clicked three times. Yes, exactly: three! How better could the success of a campaign be expressed?

And then the website www.jugendpolitik.sachsen-anhalt.de. A dream! Really! Because it is not accessible. “Error: Secure connection failed. The website cannot be displayed because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.” Competence at its finest.

What magnificent support!

Particularly outstanding is the government’s deep connection with youth clubs, associations, music schools, and volunteer fire brigades. “Especially important,” it says. How empathetic! How appreciative! While many cities and districts are struggling with massive budget deficits and municipal oversight imposes ruthless austerity measures, especially on these “voluntary” tasks, the state government comes along and declares the whole thing a binding state objective.

Brilliant move. So municipalities are expected to keep saving, cutting, closing, and reducing – but now with a really good feeling, because somewhere in Magdeburg there is a fancy leaflet saying how important all of this is. Respect. That is real relief on the ground.

Dialogue, participation, inclusion – simply world class!

The press release praises the “participation of children and young people as the core of our democracy.” In reality, this often means: young people are allowed to have a say, but the government still decides according to its own priorities and later refers back to the “program.” How progressive! How participatory!

Meanwhile, municipalities are left to figure out how to manage all this with empty coffers and austerity pressure. But hey: The government has listened. As is well known, that is almost as good as giving money. Even better. Because money would be so vulgar. This is about higher values. About strategies. About cross-cutting issues. About buzzwords like equal opportunity, gender diversity, and radicalization prevention. Delicious.

A binding mandate – who needs money?

The best part: it is binding. A truly binding, cross-departmental, strategic framework. One can almost feel the binding nature when youth centers have to close at 6 p.m. because there is no funding. One can practically smell it when yet another club discontinues youth work.

Hats off. This is politics at the highest level. Instead of embarrassing things like sufficient funding, less bureaucracy, or real local prospects, we get something far more valuable: another document. Another strategy paper. Even more dialogue. The young people of Saxony-Anhalt can consider themselves lucky.

Conclusion – simply exemplary

Dear state government, keep it up! Stay just as courageous, visionary, and wonderfully detached from reality. Young people are leaving, associations are bleeding out, and municipalities are drowning in austerity – but at least we now have a binding mandate in glossy print.

This is not politics. This is art.
The art of delivering minimal results with maximum effort and still presenting it as a great success.

Bravo. Standing ovations.
The youth are getting exactly what they deserve: even more beautiful words.

And always remember the hashtag: #modernthinking. Or should it be #molderingthinking?
