Scandal in the District Council - "Time for the Homeward Journey" motion, asking the district administrator to address Syrians, was rejectedThe AfD faction in the Saalekreis district council had requested to discuss an agenda item titled "Time for the Homeward Journey" on March 5, 2025. At the beginning of the meeting, a vote was to be taken on whether this item should remain on the agenda. The Chairman of the District Council, Mr. Andrej Haufe (CDU), stated at the beginning of the meeting that, in Saalekreis, every request first goes on the agenda and the council members should decide whether items should be removed from the agenda, for example, if it is determined that such an item is not within the district council’s remit. Andrej Haufe (CDU) quoted from the legal department’s review that "the determination of the right to reside in the Federal Republic is governed by the Asylum Act. The Asylum Act is a federal law, and it is essentially not a primary task of the district council to make determinations about it. It is not at the discretion of the immigration office. Therefore, we assume that this request contains content that does not belong to the district council's responsibilities. It should therefore be removed from the agenda by a simple vote without a substantive debate." Hans-Thomas Tillschneider (AfD) stated in his speech: "I do not share the concerns that the district and district administrator would not be responsible. Those concerns are not correct, because it is not about making a legally binding determination whether there is a reason for asylum or refuge, but this is essentially an appeal, a non-legally binding appeal, directed at Syrian citizens who reside in Saalekreis. And I would say this: If the district administrator ceremoniously hands out the certificate to those who have become German citizens and are allowed to stay here, he can just as informally also point out to those who need to leave. So this argument doesn't hold. We made it clear from the start that it is not about him handing out a deportation order, but rather making an appeal, a non-legally binding appeal to the Syrians in Saalekreis. And he can do that." The district council chairman, Andrej Haufe, believes that the district council, as part of the administration, is not a parliament. A parliament could pass appeals, but this is not the case in the district council. Due to technical issues, the vote was held twice on whether the "Time for the Homeward Journey" item should be removed from the agenda. The majority of the district council members voted to remove this item from the agenda. The AfD faction then left the city council meeting, with one member remaining, to establish that the council was no longer capable of making decisions. Hans-Thomas Tillschneider (AfD) explained that this was done in protest against "this undemocratic procedure." After consulting the district council chairman, it was determined that the council was no longer capable of making decisions. Christian Raschke (CDU) called for a review of whether such a motion, as it transpired, was correct. District Council Chairman Andrej Haufe announced that an invitation to a new district council meeting would be sent, with the addition that decision-making capability would be ensured, regardless of the number of attendees. Christof Rupf (Bündnis 90/Grüne) demanded that this agenda item "Time for the Homeward Journey" should not be included on any future agendas. The district council meeting was adjourned. The full meeting can be viewed in the video below. Statement by Hans-Thomas TillschneiderEstablished parties refuse to debate the return of Syrian refugees! For the meeting of the Saalekreis district council on March 5, the AfD faction submitted a motion regarding the Syrians still residing in Saalekreis. The district administrator of Saalekreis, Hartmut Handschak, should contact all Syrians and encourage them to return to their homeland, now that the war in Syria has ended and dictator Bashar al-Assad has been overthrown. At the suggestion of District Council Chairman Andrej Haufe (CDU), however, the established parties decided to remove this motion from the agenda without any substantive debate. Allegedly, the residence of Syrians is governed by federal law, and thus the district administrator is not responsible. This is a flimsy argument, as the AfD faction did not request that the district administrator announce the deportation of the Syrians. He was merely supposed to make a legally non-binding moral appeal to the Syrians that the time has come for them to return home. Such a letter would have been well within the district administrator's responsibilities. It is precisely this debate that the CDU, in particular, did not want to have, and therefore, the established parties used a cheap pretext to remove the motion from the agenda. This is a cowardly refusal to engage in debate, which, now that Friedrich Merz has failed to fulfill his election promises, only reinforces the impression of a spineless CDU. Since the AfD faction does not allow its rights to be restricted without resistance, it left the district council meeting in protest, which, due to the AfD’s strength in the council, led to the council’s inability to make decisions. This, however, is not an attack on democracy, as the Mitteldeutsche Zeitung commented, but a defense against the undemocratic behavior of the established parties. Those who deny the AfD faction the opportunity to propose motions and debate them should not be surprised if the members of the AfD faction are unwilling to act as mere figures in a sham democratic process.
