Hope Is the Last to Melt AwayDialogue with Citizens and the SME and Business Union at the “Schöne Aussicht” Hotel on August 29, 2024, featuring Ms. Simon-Kuch (Member of Parliament), State Secretary Dr. Ude, and Mr. Zschuckelt (SEWIG BLK). 
The focus of this well-attended and not only climatically heated event was the structural transformation in the south of Saxony-Anhalt, specifically in the Burgenland district. Various projects were presented that aim to promote both tourism and general economic development. Particularly contentious was the planned 400-hectare industrial zone along the A9/B91, which is supposed to create future-proof industrial settlements and jobs. The loss of valuable farmland to sealed industrial areas—without proper involvement of the affected citizens (“That’s what events like this are for” – oh really?)—was sharply criticized. The presenters invoked “love of one’s homeland” as a key motivation. “What does ‘homeland’ mean to you?” someone asked. What sense of home is there left to preserve—especially for citizens of the Burgenland district—if this beautiful natural landscape is increasingly covered with wind turbines and “sustainable” industrial sites? There is, after all, a difference between attracting tourists with castles, vineyards, and cultural landmarks—or expecting them to delight in wind and solar farms. Haven’t the new federal states already had enough experience with oversized industrial zones that were poorly planned and completely missed the actual needs? The temperature in the unventilated hall rose even further when one citizen marveled at the optimism of the officials—at a time when industry, including modern photovoltaic manufacturers and global leaders from various sectors, are leaving Germany en masse—taking their skilled workers with them. To assume that the promised funds will actually arrive seems wildly optimistic in times when the federal government is cutting e-car subsidies, reclaiming COVID aid, and failing to produce a constitutionally sound budget. “Well, without optimism, it won’t work,” responded Dr. Ude. Oh really! (The town of Schilda once famously tried to carry sunlight into their windowless town hall using shovels and sacks… with no success—it remained dark! The only question is: Was that optimism back then, or simply sheer foolishness?) Well then: “On your marks, get set, go!” …Let’s all cross our fingers and hope that the industrial zone is fully funded, finds investors, and achieves the desired structural change effects! We’re placing our faith in unshakable optimism. We hope the sealed hectares will be worth it—yes, we are optimistic and we hope… We have zero interest in more investment ruins, but as we learned at this event: Hope is the last to melt!
