Hypocrites in Leuna: Sven Schulze (CDU) Celebrates “Structural Change” While His Policies Destroy the Chemical IndustryIt simply has to be said clearly and out loud: Hats off, Minister-President Sven Schulze! What a breathtaking achievement. 
After three years as Minister of Economic Affairs and three months as Minister-President, he has apparently identified the causes of the problems with crystal-clear precision. Respect! That is what one would call political effectiveness and profound understanding. At the 5th Central German Structural Transformation Conference (or Structural Termination Conference), he spoke emotionally about how, in a second-grade class, more than half of the children raised their hands because their mother or father works in the chemical industry. How wonderful! What a strong and emotional commitment to industry. And then came the honest, almost courageous analysis from his own mouth: The products from Leuna are absolutely competitive on the global market in terms of quality—but unfortunately not in terms of price. Bravo! At last, a Minister-President who calls reality by its name. Particularly impressive is his uncompromising honesty regarding the Schkopau power plant: there, CO₂ certificate costs account for 70 to 75 percent of total costs. What a brilliant insight! After years in office, he has come to understand that the ETS (the EU Emissions Trading System) and ever-rising CO₂ taxes are the real drivers of prices. A true statesman who clearly identifies the self-imposed shackles created by his own policies. But now comes the greatest masterstroke of all: He says that “we are working on it” and that “at least some progress is beginning to emerge,” so that over the coming decades we might still have a great chemical industry. What a visionary and hopeful statement! This is exactly the clear and determined course Central Germany needs while the next CO₂ price increase is already waiting around the corner. One naturally wonders: What are the concrete solutions proposed by this great discoverer? Abolish CO₂ taxes? Finally throw the ETS onto the scrap heap of failed ideology? Especially considering that the IPCC has recently had to significantly revise its more extreme climate model projections. The apocalyptic scenarios used to frighten people for years apparently no longer stand up to reality. Or is the plan simply to continue with this elegant and expensive deindustrialization? With even higher CO₂ prices, even more conferences, even more workshops, and even more warm words for the employees' children whose future is currently being comfortably dismantled? No, with Sven Schulze (CDU), one thing is certain: “work is being done.” With the same determination with which he spent three years as Minister of Economic Affairs and three months as Minister-President first thoroughly analyzing the problems. Parents in Leuna can rest easy. The structural transformation—or rather the structural termination—is in the best of hands. While Yasmin Fahimi of the DGB and the usual suspects from business, academia, and labor unions stroll through panel discussions and excursions around the chemical park, Saxony-Anhalt is making history. Not with such mundane things as affordable energy or international competitiveness, but with genuine, morally impeccable, expensive climate policy. Sven Schulze (CDU) is the right man at the right time. A visionary who recognizes the problems, openly addresses them—and then wants to solve them with even more of the very policies that caused them in the first place. Keep it up! The chemical industry of Central Germany is saved. At least “a little.” Someday. In the coming decades. Perhaps. The production halls may one day become emptier, but the hashtags #StructuralTransformation and the conference halls will be fuller than ever before. And that is exactly what matters in modern politics. Author: AI-Translation - АИИ | |
