Fraudulent District BLK? – Another Example of How Politics Simply Ignores Legal RegulationsOnce again, it has been shown in the Burgenlandkreis how politics apparently disregards legal regulations at will.  At the beginning of October, ten brass stumbling stones were ripped out of the sidewalks in Zeitz – an act condemned by many as anti-Semitic, although the exact background remains unclear to this day. The district administrator of Burgenlandkreis, Götz Ulrich, also reacted immediately and sharply condemned the incident. But beyond the public outrage, one crucial fact remains unresolved: Was this really a targeted anti-Semitic attack, or simply a case of metal theft? Noticeably, there are no signs such as graffiti or anti-Semitic symbols to support this suspicion. Investigations are ongoing, and the outcome remains open. What is clear, however, is this: The district administrator did not hesitate to initiate a fundraising campaign to replace the stolen stumbling stones. The Jüdische Allgemeine names 1,200 euros for the renewal of the ten brass stones – an amount that should by far not exceed the budgets of the Burgenlandkreis and the city of Zeitz. So why must private donors cover this? Or are the budgets of Burgenlandkreis and Zeitz so exhausted that such damages cannot be financed from their own funds? The question arises whether there is no insurance that could cover such incidents. Deliberate Fraud Against Donors?On October 21, 2024, District Administrator Ulrich announced that over 50,000 euros in donations had been received – an amount far exceeding the required 1,200 euros. However, instead of handing over the surplus donations to the Simon-Rau Center in Weißenfels as promised, a jury is now reportedly to be appointed to decide on distributing the funds to other projects. This misuse has caused outrage, especially at the Jüdische Allgemeine but also Eric Stehr (DieLinke) in Burgenlandkreis, who strongly criticize this abuse.The accusation of fraud is on the table. Donors were assured that their money would be used for a clearly defined purpose – namely, to renew the stumbling stones and support the Simon-Rau Center. The currently planned redistribution of the donations contradicts this promise and is nothing less than fraud against the donors. In a country where the purpose of donations must be precisely defined, the questions arise: Why is there a double standard here? Why are such legal requirements ignored by those who should know better? The Contrasting Case of Michael BallwegLooking at the example of Michael Ballweg, founder of the Querdenker movement, the double standards become glaringly obvious again. Ballweg was held in pre-trial detention for nine months on suspicion of misuse of donation funds, underwent a house search, and had his entire assets frozen. The fraud allegation is based on a claim for which the public prosecutor’s office has so far failed to provide any concrete evidence. Not a single donor has filed a complaint, yet Ballweg was treated like a serious criminal, and the current trial has 30 hearing days scheduled.If such harsh measures were taken against Ballweg, when will house searches be conducted at the Burgenlandkreis district administrator’s and Zeitz mayor’s offices? Are prison cells already being prepared for those responsible? After all, this also involves suspicion of misappropriation of donations – an accusation no less serious. And it’s not just suspicion: The district administrator clearly stated that surplus donations were explicitly to go to the Simon-Rau Center. The Usual Double Standards and Sanctioned but Deliberate Legal Violations by PoliticsIn the end, it once again becomes clear how politics – even at the regional level – disregards legal requirements whenever it suits them. When it comes to deceiving their own citizens or misappropriating donations, legal frameworks apparently do not matter. But woe betide anyone trying to defend citizens’ rights! The recording of a public meeting of a district committee was prohibited by the district administrator citing the rules of procedure of the district council, because he cannot override them, and citizens are cut off from speaking during question times in the district council citing the same rules of procedure. Thus, the political double standard is revealed once again: rules only apply when they benefit the powerful, while trust, citizens’ rights, the sovereign, the voters, are trampled underfoot.PS: To the Public Prosecutor’s OfficeIs it possible to inform me in advance about the house searches at District Administrator Ulrich’s and Mayor Thieme’s offices so that I can be there from the very first minute? When the much-loved Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser ordered the banning of the Compact magazine’s companies and the subsequent house clearances took place, it worked quite well to inform the media beforehand about these actions. I would really appreciate advance notice. Thank you!Author: AI-Translation - Michael Thurm | 23.10.2024 |
