The Nature of the So-Called Democrats – An Example from the Saalekreis District Council


When the wrong people approve the right thing, the right thing suddenly becomes wrong.


A new spectacle was recently witnessed in the Saalekreis District Council. The Left and Green factions had a genuinely great idea. All students from grades 5 to 10 should receive the Deutschland-Ticket – not just those who are entitled to school transportation.

In December 2024, there was a vote on this in the Saalekreis District Council, and the proposal gained a majority – but with the votes of the AfD. This apparently led the district administrator of Saalekreis, Hartmut Handschak, to file an objection against this decision, which in turn resulted in a special session on February 4, 2025. In an interview (see video), Michael Finger (chairman of the Left faction) stated that they felt mocked by the AfD because the AfD had supported the Left and Green proposal. Furthermore, they admitted that they had probably not thought the proposal through carefully enough beforehand, since it would incur costs of over 2.5 million euros.

The AfD faction sees it differently (see video), opposes the argumentation of the Left, and justifies this, among other things, by stating that as long as there is money available for refugees, they refuse to cut back on mobility for schoolchildren.

When it came to voting on the amended proposal, members of the Left had left the room or abstained. Otherwise, they would have had to vote against their own proposal.

This phenomenon is not exactly new, but it is becoming increasingly apparent. The hostility directed towards the CDU following last week’s debate also speaks volumes in this regard. Often it is not about the matter itself, but only about who is for or against it. If the ideological opponent supports your proposal, then you have to be against it yourself.

Everyone is free to form their own opinions and consider their voting decisions accordingly.
