The Confused Professor: Why SPD's Willingmann's Facebook Clip Is a Slap in the Face to Rural CommunitiesA Political Miracle in Saxony-Anhalt: How the SPD Suddenly Wants to Save Rural Hospitals. 
Chapeau, Professor Armin Willingmann! What a magnificent, heartwarming Facebook appearance by the much-loved SPD Minister for Science and leading candidate. One can hardly hold back a tear when seeing how deeply concerned this man is about healthcare in rural areas. Remarkable how, in July 2026—just eight weeks before the state election—he suddenly discovers that hospitals in rural communities are actually quite a good idea. Maternity wards? Surgery departments? Well, imagine that! And the solution he presents is almost impossible to surpass in its brilliance: Re-municipalization! In other words, returning privatized hospitals to the ownership of counties and municipalities should "no longer be a taboo." Wow. What a revolutionary act of courage! What visionary policymaking! The Architects of the Disaster Now Pretend to Be the SaviorsOne has to admire this level of audacity. It takes an extraordinary degree of political amnesia to forget who personally drove the healthcare system into the wall over the past three decades. Who was it that helped invent, promote, and fiercely defend the relentless pressure to privatize healthcare? The grand coalitions in Berlin and the successive governing coalitions in Magdeburg—with the SPD playing a central role.The Mantra of Efficiency: For decades, the prevailing dogma in German politics was: "Private before public." Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRGs) were introduced to make hospitals operate like factories. And who ignored every warning from doctors, nurses, and critics who predicted precisely this collapse of rural hospitals? That's right: the political establishment. Silence in the State Parliament: Where exactly was the loud, passionate protest from the Saxony-Anhalt SPD when, over the past decades, one hospital after another was sold off to private corporations because it was supposedly "more efficient"? They looked the other way, nodded in approval, and governed right along with it. And Today? Today, the SPD's lead candidate sits down in a polished social media clip and acts as though the wave of privatizations were some kind of natural disaster that unexpectedly swept across the country—instead of being the direct consequence of his own party's policies. The Brilliant Trick: Simply Dump the Bankruptcy on the Counties!But the real punchline is yet to come. It's wonderful that Willingmann so generously "allows" local governments to buy back the run-down hospitals that have been drained dry by private corporations. What a statesmanlike gift!The only problem is that the very same federal and state policies have left the counties and independent municipalities in Saxony-Anhalt more financially crippled than ever before. Municipal coffers are chronically empty, budgets are deep in the red—and that, too, is the result of years of misguided fiscal and funding policies at the state level. The Scheme Is as Cynical as It Is Clever:First, you deprive the counties of the financial means to breathe. Then you publicly urge them to buy back deficit-ridden hospitals worth millions. And when the municipalities, quite predictably, cannot afford it and the hospital eventually closes anyway? Well, then you simply blame the incompetent county administrators. After all, SPD's Willingmann said in the video that it should be "no longer a taboo."Hypocrisy on Endless RepeatIt is a tragedy compressed into just a few seconds of video. Those who created the problems now present themselves as the great thinkers and saviors with groundbreaking ideas. This kind of political hypocrisy has become almost unbearable in the rural communities of Saxony-Anhalt in 2026.Thank you for this clip, Professor Willingmann. It makes one thing abundantly clear: when it comes to making quick election promises, no problem is too great for the SPD—provided it helped create that problem in the first place. That's what the SPD stands for!
