The Desperate Kickoff of the Eleven Puppets: How CDU District Administrator Götz Ulrich Suddenly Discovers “Closeness to Citizens” After Twelve Years — and Ends Up Begging InsteadSince when does someone have to become a district administrator to realize that their own administration is a bureaucratic nightmare? ```html 
Götz Ulrich (CDU), District Administrator of the Burgenland district since July 2014 and President of the Saxony-Anhalt County Association since 2022, has apparently had an enlightening revelation. On June 14, 2026, he posts a promotional clip for the #all11 campaign on Facebook: eleven district administrators standing together “as a team” for fast, citizen-focused local self-government. No more “supervisors at the state level,” no more three administrative tiers — away with the three-tier system. Bravo. It only took him twelve years in office to come up with that. Why only now, Mr. Ulrich? Were the past twelve years too comfortable to address your own powerlessness? As a loyal CDU man, he has supported the government in Magdeburg for years, watching as Berlin and the state kept piling new regulations, requirements, and oversight bodies onto the districts. Suddenly, just before the state election in September 2026, the team poses like football players and demands what any reasonable person has known for ages: municipalities should be able to decide for themselves whether to establish noise protection zones or not. Revolutionary. The clip sounds like a cry for help disguised as a campaign ad. “If we want people to trust our state...” — yes, exactly. Trust has collapsed in part because district administrators like Ulrich lacked the courage for years to confront the three-tier administrative system head-on. Instead, they make videos and invent hashtags. Strong municipalities? This is the whining of people who have spent years being part of the problem. Why doesn’t he simply make it happen? Because he can’t.Ulrich is no rebel; he is a career system politician through and through. Active in local politics for decades, CDU district chairman, mayor, then district administrator — always comfortably swimming with the mainstream. Good connections? He surely has them within the CDU state government. But instead of applying pressure, he is now publicly begging alongside his colleagues because a single CDU district administrator apparently has zero clout. What a declaration of bankruptcy! Does the President of the County Association have no direct line to the State Chancellery? Or are those connections only useful when it comes to positions and patronage, but not real reforms?The demand to abolish the three-tier system is nothing new. It has been discussed for years, and Ulrich’s team has merely reheated the issue now that elections are approaching. Why didn’t he push for it in 2015, 2018, or 2021, when he was newly elected or re-elected? Because it is more convenient to shift responsibility upward. The state is to blame, Berlin is to blame, the “supervisors” are to blame. Just not their own failures. The Bitter Truth Behind the PR BabbleThis #all11 campaign is not an uprising on behalf of citizens, but a desperate attempt to appear once again as “strong local politicians” before the state election. While rural areas are bleeding dry, healthcare is collapsing, digitalization remains a joke in many places, and mobility is stagnating at 1990s levels, these district administrators are making promotional videos. Capable rural regions? Their years of cozying up to the state government have actively prevented that.Ulrich and company are demanding “reliable financial resources” — of course they are. Because they themselves are incapable of speaking uncomfortable truths. Instead of making radical cuts where spending is pointless and reclaiming powers, they are aligning themselves with the very system they are now criticizing. That is not citizen-focused; it is cowardly. Why Does It Take “All 11”?Because none of them has the guts to stand up to their own party and the state government on their own. A true leader would not beg — they would create facts on the ground, if necessary through confrontation. Instead: a social media campaign with a football metaphor. Kickoff for the next round of excuses.Saxony-Anhalt does not need eleven district administrators willing to show their faces. It needs people who will finally dismantle the apparatus that is strangling citizens and municipalities. Götz Ulrich (CDU) had twelve years. He wasted them. Now comes the campaign video.
