Fit for the Catastrophe and Waiting for Godot - District Council Meeting Burgenlandkreis March 10, 2025


Getting ready for the catastrophe – and waiting for Godot. That could be a polemic summary of the District Council meeting, with a few additional surprises.


The Burgenlandkreis has no money. There are too many applications to process in the social sector, but there is a shortage of staff. This continues to concern District Administrator Götz Ulrich. Increasingly, more applications are being submitted by people from the middle class. Furthermore, there are still too many requests from people in need of care who are to be placed in nursing homes. The poor employees of the offices are unable to process them in a timely manner – because too many people are too poor. The fact that so many people are poor seems to be less of a concern.

Loans have to be taken out again. The hope is to get a share of the "special fund" (the many hundreds of billions of euros in loans that the federal government is supposed to take on) – if it comes at all. The AfD has filed a lawsuit against the convening of the old Bundestag. This debt is, of course, blamed on Putin and the Ukraine war, as well as Trump and the USA. In the future, more financial flexibility is hoped for, assuming the German District Council gets through to the federal government, because at the moment, nothing much can really be done. This could probably also be described as "Waiting for Godot".

Civil and disaster protection is to be strengthened. This is currently important (probably because of Putin and such). The idea was brought up to introduce a day for civil and disaster protection in the schools of Burgenlandkreis. It seems that the children should also be made ready for upcoming disasters – whatever those disasters may be.

There was an inquiry about corruption in the district, which, however, was not answered by the District Administrator. The District Administrator does not want to be helpful in this regard.

A written answer is to be given within a month to the question of when the district will meet the requirements so that all parents can fulfill their legal duty to assist in schools – and what this should look like in practice. The legal opinion of the district and the state of Saxony-Anhalt has been that parents are obligated to support their children in class at all times since at least 2010. It sounds strange, but that’s how it is. However, this has not been consistently implemented so far.
Enjoy watching the District Council meeting! There’s much more to discover!
