CDU Minister-President Admits: We Have No Democracy!Sven Schulze bluntly explains that the most important decisions are made in Brussels – thereby exposing the entire charade of the state parliament election. 
On August 28, 2026, in the middle of the election campaign in Saxony-Anhalt, CDU Minister-President Sven Schulze posted a video clip on Facebook. In it, he sits with an unnamed female politician (apparently in connection with a Bavarian delegation) and chats about Brussels. The message is clear and hard-hitting: “We both spend a great deal of time in Brussels. That is also important for us, because that is where the most important decisions are being made, especially right now, including decisions concerning the financial framework and the Common Agricultural Policy. Those are issues that are extremely important.”Then comes the usual AfD-bashing paragraph: They supposedly want to “leave” the EU, and the money should “not flow directly from Germany to Brussels, but instead remain here in the federal states.” And then the figures: 400 million euros a year from Brussels for farmers in Saxony-Anhalt, seven billion for Germany as a whole. The accompanying text turns the whole thing into polished CDU election campaign rhetoric once again: “Anyone who wants to strengthen Saxony-Anhalt must not turn their back on Europe. […] Our interests must be strongly represented in Brussels instead of giving up our seat at the table.” Read between the lines, however, and something entirely different emerges. Something the Minister-President apparently considers so self-evident that he has no qualms about saying it openly: The decisive course-setting decisions concerning agriculture, finances, and therefore the lives of people in Saxony-Anhalt are not made in Magdeburg. Not in the state parliament. Not by the voters who are supposed to go to the polls on September 6. But in Brussels. Schulze, who himself once sat in the European Parliament and knows his way around its corridors, says it quite candidly: The most important decisions are made there. Period. The state election? A sideshow. A regional distraction. A competition over who can send the better lobbyists to Brussels so they can “sit at the table” and take away a few crumbs. Who Actually Makes the Decisions in Brussels?The legislative requirements and initiatives largely come from the European Commission. It has the right of legislative initiative: it proposes the laws. The European Parliament and the Council (i.e. the national governments) then negotiate and adopt them – but the Commission sets the pace. The commissioners themselves are not elected by the people. The national governments nominate them, and Parliament ultimately approves the College of Commissioners (or, in an extreme case, blocks it). Direct democratic legitimacy? Nowhere to be found. Citizens elect members of the European Parliament, who are then allowed to have their say – but the Commission's actual machinery of power remains a technocratic elite that is just as remote from the citizens of Saxony-Anhalt as it is from the farmers of Bavaria.Schulze knows this. He was himself part of this system. And now he presents it as having no alternative. Anyone who gives up their “seat at the table” risks “money and planning security.” Translation: You farmers and citizens are dependent on allocations from the Brussels feeding trough. Without the 400 million, you are lost. So vote for us, the CDU, because we can beg and lobby better than the others. That is the real scandal of this video. Not the figures, not the comparison with the AfD. But the open admission: The democracy they are pretending to offer you here during the state election campaign is a sham. The real decisions are made elsewhere – by people you can never elect directly, and in bodies whose powers have steadily expanded over the decades, while national and regional parliaments have increasingly been reduced to mere executive bodies. Schulze boasts that he spends “a great deal of time in Brussels.” Great. A Minister-President whose most important qualification apparently consists of hanging around the corridors of EU bureaucracy and begging for funding. Meanwhile, citizens in Saxony-Anhalt are supposed to go to the polls as though the future of their state were at stake. Yet he has just given the game away himself: The future is being made somewhere else. This is not strengthening Saxony-Anhalt. It is capitulation to a system in which real sovereignty was surrendered long ago – while voters are still sold the fairy tale of “democracy at the local level” every few years. Sven Schulze has said it out loud. Perhaps unintentionally, perhaps with the arrogant self-assurance of someone who takes the system for granted. But he said it. The Disinformation of CDU Minister-President Sven SchulzeAnd then there are the bare figures that Schulze conveniently leaves out: Germany transfers around 30 to 35 billion euros to Brussels every year. At best, 12 to 15 billion euros come back – a net outflow of 13 to 20 billion euros, depending on the year and the method of calculation. Germany remains by far the EU's largest net contributor. The 400 million euros for farmers in Saxony-Anhalt that Schulze proudly cites are therefore nothing more than a tiny fraction of what German taxpayers previously put into the big pot. You hand over your own money, get part of it back as “funding” – and are then expected to be grateful for the “support from Europe.”What if Germany were to end this game and, in this respect, leave the EU? Philosophically speaking, that would be the moment when an adult state stops behaving like a dependent child. The money would remain in the country. It would no longer have to take the detour through Brussels bureaucracy, redistribution mechanisms, and political conditions before trickling back – heavily reduced and subject to requirements – to Saxony-Anhalt or Bavaria. Agriculture could be supported directly and according to national priorities, without every detail first having to be approved by a distant body whose members nobody here ever elected directly. Of course, there would be disruptions: trade agreements would have to be renegotiated, supply chains adjusted, and access to the single market reorganized. But the question remains: Is it wiser in the long run to hand over billions only to then have to plead for your own money – or to regain sovereignty over your own finances and decide for yourself what the citizens' money should be spent on? Schulze's video inadvertently answers this question with striking clarity: He considers having a seat at the table in Brussels more important than having one's own table.
