The King of Self-Aggrandizement - Sven Schulze, CDU Minister President, Saxony-AnhaltOh, how wonderful! There stands our beloved Minister President Sven Schulze (CDU) on a podium stage, emotionally speaking about the World Trade Center in New York: Saxony-Anhalt is all over the world. 
Flat glass from Saxony-Anhalt in the WTC! Copper from Hettstedt in Jeff Bezos’ rockets! And without us there would be no more iPhones at all! If Hettstedt were to shut down tomorrow, global technology would collapse. Svennie built it all with his own hands, or how was it? Bravo, Mr. Schulze. What an achievement. One almost wants to applaud in emotion – if it weren’t so embarrassing, so transparent, and so typical of the fading CDU establishment. A man who has been in office since January 2026 goes on a campaign tour and presents himself as the great global improver, who keeps space travel and Apple running with his copper. The comments under the post speak volumes: from “patting oneself on the back” to “propaganda” to “windbag,” everything is included. The facts – or what is left of themYes, there is a traditional copper rolling mill in Hettstedt (MKM/KME Mansfeld) that produces high-quality semi-finished products. It likely supplies components that end up somewhere in the supply chain of electronics, drive technology, or industry. Great. But from there to “without us no iPhones worldwide” and “Bezos couldn’t even launch otherwise” is a leap into pure self-overestimation bordering on disinformation.Apple and Blue Origin have global supply chains. Copper is a commodity – interchangeable, scalable, available from dozens of countries (Chile, Peru, China, Australia, etc.). Companies find new suppliers within weeks to months if price, quality, or reliability no longer fit. This is not a secret but everyday reality in the globalized economy. The idea that a Saxony-Anhalt plant is indispensable for the iPhone is simply ridiculous – and reveals how much one must inflate one’s own importance when real achievements are scarce. The situation with flat glass in the WTC is similar: there is no clear, independent evidence of a central role of specifically Saxony-Anhalt suppliers for the iconic towers. It remains typical political cherry-picking. Schulze’s contribution? Tends toward zero. The problems? Maximum.What has Sven Schulze personally contributed to the existence of these companies? The copper tradition in Hettstedt goes back centuries – through GDR times, privatization, and investments by private companies. Schulze has only recently been Minister President, previously Minister of Economic Affairs. He is merely inheriting and posing.And then the obligatory call to action: “Affordable energy, less bureaucracy, faster procedures, more reliability.” How original. Exactly the things that CDU-led governments (federal and state) have failed to deliver for years. Germany has some of the highest industrial electricity prices in the world – far above the USA, China, or France. Comments under the post show graphics with 15–20 ct/kWh in Germany vs. 5–10 ct elsewhere. Industry is bleeding, companies are looking for alternatives. But sure: Sven pats himself on the back for the copper that still runs despite politics. The bitter coreThis post is not a proud report about Saxony-Anhalt. It is desperate campaign propaganda from a Minister President whose party senses the ground shifting. “Saxony-Anhalt can be world class” – yes, thanks to the people and entrepreneurs who still produce despite high energy prices, bureaucratic madness, green ideology, and decades of failed policy. Not thanks to politics.The CDU is decorating itself with borrowed feathers while real deindustrialization continues. Instead of creating real conditions (energy, deregulation), there are PR clips with false pathos. “Making Saxony-Anhalt stronger – only with us.” No, Mr. Schulze. The world keeps turning even without this self-aggrandizement. And if companies tomorrow find new suppliers in Poland, the USA, or Asia – because energy remains unaffordable here – then that will be the end of the “indispensable” copper from Hettstedt.
