Disinformation by CDU Minister-President Sven Schulze – The Maaßen Affair as Minister in an AfD Government in Saxony-Anhalt

Ah, how refreshingly honest and rooted in the homeland it sounds when our esteemed CDU Minister-President Sven Schulze posts an n-tv clip on Facebook on 27 May 2026 and solemnly declares: “From my perspective, I would find it regrettable for Saxony-Anhalt if people from outside the state were needed to govern this state. We ourselves have good people; apparently the AfD does not. And Maaßen, just like many others, would then be sent here by Weidel. I truly find something like that regrettable for the state.”

Bravo, Mr. Schulze! What a courageous fighter for East German self-determination! What a champion against careerists “sent from outside”! One almost feels compelled to kiss his feet out of sheer admiration – or at least send him a bouquet of flowers from the Harz mountains. Finally, someone who protects the homeland and tolerates no foreign rule. What a beacon of authenticity in an otherwise so degenerate political landscape.

One could almost forget that this is the very same Sven Schulze who sits in a state government cheerfully staffed with genuine West German imports. But no, for Schulze that is naturally something entirely different. In his case, it is not a problem but rather lived diversity and professional excellence. Only when it comes to the AfD and a Hans-Georg Maaßen does it suddenly become an existential threat to proud Saxony-Anhalt. How convenient.

The West German Imports of the CDU-SPD-FDP Coalition

Let us take a closer look at the cabinet led by the great defender of the homeland Schulze. For example, there is Armin Willingmann (SPD), First Deputy Minister-President and Minister for Science, Energy, Climate Protection and the Environment. Born in 1963 in Dinslaken on the Lower Rhine – deep in the West, North Rhine-Westphalia. Not an East German, not really a “child of the state” in the narrower sense, but naturally an absolutely indispensable expert blessing Saxony-Anhalt with West German wisdom. Schulze, of course, does not find this regrettable but enriching. How could it be otherwise? After all, Willingmann is one of the good ones.

Or Dr. Lydia Hüskens (FDP), Second Deputy Minister-President and Minister (among other things for Infrastructure). Born in 1964 in Geldern, also in North Rhine-Westphalia. Active in the East since the 1990s, but one cannot choose one’s birthplace. For Schulze, this is naturally not a case of someone “sent here by Weidel” but rather pure competence. Only Maaßen would be a catastrophe. The logic is compelling.

Let us continue taking a closer look at the cabinet of this great regionalist:

Petra Grimm-Benne (SPD), Minister for Labour, Social Affairs, Health and Equality – born in Cologne (North Rhine-Westphalia). Deep West Germany. But of course not a “careerist sent from outside,” rather an indispensable enrichment. Naturally, Schulze does not find this regrettable.
Rainer Robra (CDU), Head of the State Chancellery and Minister for Culture – born in Düsseldorf (NRW). In the East for decades, yet his birthplace remains West German. For the CDU, this is pure competence, not foreign influence.
Michael Richter (CDU), Finance Minister – born in Bielefeld (NRW). Yet another West German import in a position of responsibility.
Jan Riedel (CDU), Minister of Education – born in Mönchengladbach (NRW). Is he also truly a “child of the state”? Well, that depends on how one defines “state” – the important thing is simply that he is not close to the AfD.

Sven Schulze himself was indeed born in Quedlinburg – respect for that. But his government team and coalition partners live quite comfortably with West German roots in key positions. That is not a contradiction; that is “pragmatic politics.” In the case of the AfD, however, it would supposedly amount to betrayal of the people. What brilliant double standards! One simply has to love them.

West German Imports as an Enrichment in the Judiciary Too

And this continues into the highest ranks of the courts and administrations – precisely where independence and an “East German perspective” are supposedly so crucial:

Winfried Holthaus, President of the Higher Regional Court of Naumburg (the state’s highest ordinary court) – born in 1971 in Dortmund (NRW). A classic West German import at the top of the judiciary. But naturally no problem at all for Schulze & Co.
Oliver Becker, President of the Higher Administrative Court of Saxony-Anhalt – born in 1967 in Osnabrück (Lower Saxony). Once again West Germany. He heads the state’s highest administrative court – and for the CDU government this is, of course, not a “regrettable” case.
Frank Böger, President of the Regional Court of Magdeburg – born in Stade (Lower Saxony). West German. But of course: this is something entirely different from the AfD.
Jörg Engelhard, President of the Regional Court of Halle – comes from Bonn (NRW). Another West German import in a position of responsibility.
Reinhard Engshuber, President of the State Labour Court of Saxony-Anhalt – born in 1961 in Landsberg am Lech (Bavaria). He, too, is not really a “child of the state” in the narrower sense.

After reunification, many capable jurists came from the West to help shape the reconstruction of the East – judges, prosecutors, presidents of courts. Back then, this was considered necessary and good. Today, when it comes to possible AfD appointments, the very same practice is dramatized into an existential threat. Delicious.

The AfD Denials and Schulze’s Fearmongering

It becomes particularly brazen when Schulze brands Maaßen as someone “sent here by Weidel.” After all, the AfD Saxony-Anhalt already denied on 19 May 2026 that there were any concrete talks or plans regarding a ministerial post for Maaßen. AfD state chairman Martin Reichardt stated unambiguously that there were no negotiations whatsoever about Maaßen becoming Minister of the Interior. Maaßen had merely attended events, nothing more.

But why fact-check when a Facebook post can be used so effectively to stir emotions?

And for the grand finale of the clip comes the unavoidable CDU slogan: “Making Saxony-Anhalt stronger. Only with us.” Yes, exactly. Making it stronger – with West German imports in ministerial offices and at the top of the courts, as long as they wear the correct party colors. Only with you. With your selective love of homeland, your double standards, and your panicked fear of anyone who does not belong to your own power cartel.

Keep it up, great defender of the homeland! The country is watching – and either laughing itself to pieces or remembering all this until the next election. Apparently, “regrettable” outside influence is only a problem when it does not serve one’s own power.
