District Council Approves AfD Proposal – Unsustainable Democratic Conditions?Shortly after the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, under the authority of the Federal Ministry of the Interior and former Minister Nancy Faeser, hastily classified the AfD as a confirmed far-right extremist party, scenes of highly questionable democratic nature unfolded in the Saalekreis district council. 
On May 7, 2025, the AfD faction in the Saalekreis district council also submitted a motion calling for the year-round display of the German flag on administrative buildings and district properties – including schools. The motion was titled “Show the Flag” there as well. District council member Hans-Thomas Tillschneider (AfD) also provided historical context on the matter, similar to how Jörg Riemer (CDU) and Rüdiger Erben (SPD) had commented two days earlier in the Burgenlandkreis council. However, unlike in the Burgenlandkreis, no counter-motion or amendment was submitted in the Saalekreis. Although members of other parties took the floor to explain why they would abstain or vote against it, the approach taken in the Burgenlandkreis – rejecting the AfD motion or opposing it with their own – was not mirrored in Saalekreis. Unsustainable Democratic ConditionsOne might say these are unsustainable democratic conditions upon seeing this.But it gets worse. While calls for banning the AfD echo across Germany, the Mayor of Merseburg, Sebastian Müller-Bahr, declared that he has long practiced what the AfD is fundamentally calling for – flying the German flag regularly in front of Merseburg’s town hall. He also stated that he apparently shares more common ground with Hans-Thomas Tillschneider on this matter than people might think. Frank Witte (FDP) also stated that Mr. Tillschneider is right about many things. District Administrator Hartmut Handschak said this debate and national pride are important. Only Alexander Sorge (DIE LINKE) warned about what he saw as the true motivation behind the motion. Yet this still wasn’t the tip of the iceberg: Edgar Edel (AfD) reported that in his hometown of Bad Dürrenberg, three flags fly year-round in front of the town hall – the German flag, the flag of the Saalekreis, and the flag of the city of Bad Dürrenberg. Just two weeks ago, a demonstration by Antifa took place in Bad Dürrenberg. Max Schneller initiated it to protest against those “conspiracy theorists” who march every Monday for peace, freedom, and democracy. Perhaps Max overlooked the fact that his protest – with Antifa and the Left – might have been more appropriately aimed elsewhere and at a different target? The AfD’s motion was approved by a majority in the Saalekreis district council. The Saving Example of BurgenlandkreisIn Burgenlandkreis, this issue was resolved in the only proper way: the AfD motion was not approved, and instead, an independent counter-motion was submitted. Jörg Riemer explained this. He is, by the way, the head of the vocational schools in Burgenlandkreis. In November and December, he requested during the Weißenfels city council meetings to be cut out or blurred in the video recordings of the sessions. And on May 8, 2025, together with several others, he was outraged that I intended to record this city council meeting in a somewhat decent manner. A true, steadfast, genuine democrat – right? I’m asking for a friend.As sad as it is: Saalekreis seems to be plagued by unsustainable democratic conditions. How is it possible that the AfD and its voters are not being excluded there? How is it possible that there is no political “playground game” like the one seen in Burgenlandkreis? How is it possible that members of other parties partially agree with the AfD representatives? I think – therefore I (doubtfully) am – that Max from Bad Dürrenberg and his friends are clearly called upon to take action again. But this time, not against the peace-loving “conspiracy theorists” – but against the powers-that-be in Saalekreis, right? Ironic winking emoji If you don’t believe all this, click here and see for yourself. The video starts at the point where the topic is discussed. Author: AI Translation - Michael Thurm | 13.05.2025 |
