CDU and SPD Violate Legal Requirements – Elke Simon-Kuch (CDU) and Armin Willingmann (SPD) Already Hanging on Lamp PostsOnce again, one cannot help but get the impression that legal requirements are treated by the establishment parties more as guidelines than as binding rules. 
Die Linke Weißenfels has published on Facebook that campaign posters of the CDU and SPD had already been put up throughout the city of Weißenfels on 23 July 2026. According to a document also published by Die Linke Weißenfels, namely the City of Weißenfels' special-use permit for campaign advertising for the 2026 state election, such campaign posters may only be displayed from 27 July 2026 until 9 September 2026. Nevertheless, Elke Simon-Kuch (CDU) and Armin Willingmann (SPD) are already hanging from several lamp posts. 
This raises the question of what consequences, if any, will follow. Will Mayor Martin Papke (CDU) instruct the public order office to take firm action? Will the parties be required to remove the posters again? Or will they instead be ordered to take them down two days before the election? And what happens if the parties fail to comply? Will there be a fine, and if so, how high will it be? Will it be laughably small, or substantial enough to make the party treasurers feel it? However, the CDU in Weißenfels is already known for certain political tricks. During the last municipal council election, Mayor Martin Papke was placed on the CDU's list of candidates for the city council, even though it was clear that he would not resign as mayor simply to become an ordinary council member. Owing to his popularity, he attracted a large share of the votes, enabling numerous CDU candidates to win seats on the council who otherwise would likely not have been elected. If putting up campaign posters ahead of the permitted date has no meaningful consequences for the CDU and SPD, then one has to wonder whether illegal parking, speeding, or the many other offenses for which ordinary citizens are quickly fined will also become penalty-free in the future. Does "equal treatment (ignoring the rules) for everyone" now apply, or is this simply another example of double standards? The favored parties are apparently free to disregard legal requirements, while everyone else—the citizens—continues to face the full force of enforcement.
