The state gives you nothing - Corona aid is being reclaimedMost people want to finally leave Corona behind. Understandable – those were times you'd rather forget. Both those who went along with it and those who enforced the measures. 
The state wants the money backEven in Saxony-Anhalt, the Investment Bank is sending out letters this year to check whether the granted Corona aid was actually needed. Some may think that companies still in operation probably didn’t really need the support. So why not reclaim it, right? After all, these were merely discretionary benefits that the state was gracious enough to grant. There was no legal entitlement – and if it turns out that the applicant wasn't truly in need, then it simply has to be paid back.Just by the way: If it turns out that someone didn't actually need the aid, they could be accused of subsidy fraud. That’s a criminal offense – and even the attempt is punishable. A DJ named Attila wrote a few memorable lines on Facebook: 
Show textCorona thankfully happened a while ago, but we must not forget what happened back then. As someone in the event industry, we were the first to be shut down and the last to be allowed to work again. I personally only accepted Corona aid once, since I was incredibly lucky to have an amazing community on Twitch behind me that supported me financially during that time. Even though many of them barely had any money themselves – I’m infinitely grateful for that.What really upsets me, though, are the repayments of Corona aid. To this day, millions are being spent on many "pointless" projects worldwide, and in Germany, millions go to people who exploit our social system and contribute nothing. And now, once again, the event industry is being hit with various repayments and problems. An industry that is currently experiencing the worst collapse: clubs and discos are closing, open-air events are dwindling, and the future looks bleak. Impact on the youth Another major problem is that young people entertained themselves differently during Corona. Today’s 18-year-olds never really learned how to party. They often don’t know the energy and sense of community of a packed dance floor. That’s a loss for all of society and adds further to the crisis in the industry. A plea So my big wish: go out again, go party, don’t forget this industry! Leave Netflix off on the weekend and meet up with friends. Otherwise, people will soon only know the word "disco" from history books. Let’s make sure together that our cultural venues stay alive! That’s certainly correct in principle, but it falls short and remains a narrow view. The many refugees are not to blame. Yes, oddly enough, the state or rather the politicians seem to have endless money for that. But the root causes of flight are not being addressed. Still, even without refugees, the situation regarding Corona aid wouldn’t be any different. The state – the political system – takes from its own people wherever it can. As long as they remain quiet, the game continues. I remember the “Red Alert” campaign by the arts sector. Back then, I wondered why the artists didn’t take to the streets together with the critics of the measures. The answer: the framing worked brilliantly. The critics were the bad guys, the unsocial ones, the conspiracy theorists, the right-wingers. Even in the cultural sector, many believed that – or still believe it. Had the artists simply joined forces with the critics, perhaps a lot more could have happened. But the dependencies were probably too strong. If you want public contracts, you better not bite the hand that feeds you – right? Especially since artists who openly voiced their criticism and opposition to the government were targeted by politics and the media: exclusion, defamation, prosecution, destruction of livelihoods. Maybe as an artist, you could have seen that coming, right? DJ Attila has a wishDJ Attila has a wish: people should go out and party again. But for every so-called conspiracy theorist, it was obvious from the start that lockdowns, fearmongering, and calls to stay at home would achieve the exact opposite. On top of that, rising costs for entry, drinks, etc. – a Netflix subscription is simply cheaper.Maybe DJ Attila will clarify his criticism a bit more and finally direct it where it’s belonged since the first lockdown: at the government. Maybe DJ Attila will find time to deal with the fact that these “containment measures” were purely political decisions – as then-Chancellor Merkel openly admitted. Maybe he’ll realize that politics never really cared about human lives, livelihoods, etc., but primarily about power. Whether DJ Attila is still DJing tomorrow doesn’t matter to the government at all. Author: AI Translation - Michael Thurm | 27.05.2025 |
