District Administrator Ulrich Has No Overview – Finance Department Unable to Operate ComputersIf any further proof were needed that the administration in Burgenlandkreis has lost control over its own processes, then District Administrator Götz Ulrich has now delivered it himself. 
In response to a factually precise inquiry by County Councillor Kerstin Worms (AfD) on November 1, 2024, regarding the processing of COVID-related fine proceedings, the District Administrator replied on December 4, 2024, with a mix of numerical gymnastics, evasive rhetoric, and a confession of digital incompetence. 713 Proceedings – And Then?It is first announced that 713 administrative offence proceedings related to COVID measures were initiated. An impressive number – at least on paper. But how many citizens were actually fined, and whether those fines were ever paid, remains unclear. Why? Because the finance department supposedly cannot generate statistics. Yes, you read that correctly."Statistical Analysis Technically Impossible" – Welcome to 1995We live in the year 2025. Billions are being invested in digitalization, even small craft businesses juggle accounting software that tracks incoming payments to the second. Only in Burgenlandkreis does technology seem to have come to a standstill – somewhere between fax machines and file folders. The claim that a “statistical analysis of incoming payments is technically impossible” is either a dramatic self-exposure or simply an attempt to conceal embarrassing truths.What kind of finance department doesn’t know how much revenue was generated from COVID fines? And what kind of District Administrator not only tolerates such incompetence but publicly documents it? Apparently, not a single person in the Burgenlandkreis finance department is capable of using a simple Excel spreadsheet. Just imagine: 713 fine proceedings, each with a case number – and it's supposedly impossible to list these in a simple table? One column for the case number, one for the date of payment, one for the amount – done. But no, these basic data processing skills, which every trainee learns in their first year, seem to be sorely lacking in the district administration. One gets the impression that they are overwhelmed by the structured documentation of fines in software that should have been standard in every public office for decades. Trust SquanderedLet us remember: between 2020 and 2023, citizens were forced under threat of heavy fines to wear masks, avoid contact, and were driven out of parks, cafés, and playgrounds by police and public order offices. Those who disobeyed were slammed with fines. Once the public review began, there was suddenly an awkward silence – or alternatively, technical incompetence.This response is not just an affront to the person who asked the question, but to every citizen who received a fine notice during the COVID period. Were these fines ever collected at all? Or was the whole thing a massive paper tiger – all bluster and no legal substance? The District Administrator and His Data FogGötz Ulrich demonstrates one thing above all with this response: a lack of control over his own departments. If the legal and regulatory office does not communicate with the finance department – how can anyone claim that anything in this district was under control?That the retention period is stated as "10 years" is almost cynical. Apparently, hoarding files is sufficient – analyzing them is not. Welcome to the administrative Middle Ages. Incompetence in Its Purest FormThe District Administrator’s reply is a document of state incompetence – and a textbook example of the lack of willingness for transparency in the post-COVID era. Those who wield authority must also be able to account for their actions. But if even the simplest data evaluations fail, it’s time to ask uncomfortable questions:Who is in control in Burgenlandkreis? Who is responsible for this digital disgrace? And why is no one taking responsibility? This is not what a functioning administration looks like. And a District Administrator who has lost oversight should quickly regain it – or make room for someone who knows how to operate a computer. The Inquiry to the District Administration from 1.11.2024Inquiry Regarding the Prosecution of Administrative Offences During the COVID CrisisDear District Administrator Ulrich, Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, During the COVID crisis, protective measures mandated by the Infection Protection Act were in force between March 2020 and April 2023. These included significant encroachments on citizens’ fundamental rights and corresponding sanctions. Violations of these protective measures were prosecuted as administrative offences, including in Burgenlandkreis. The health office, regulatory office, and fine office of the district were involved. The number of administrative offences prosecuted in this context has not yet been made public. On behalf of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) parliamentary group in the Burgenlandkreis district council, I request information in the following format: 1. Number of proceedings initiated against natural and legal persons; 2. Number of proceedings completed to date; 3. Number of proceedings still pending; 4. Total revenue from fines collected; 5. Retention period for procedural files/data storage period The answer to my inquiry should be provided in writing and made available to all members of the district council. The Response from District Administrator Götz Ulrich, dated 4.12.2024Inquiry – Prosecution of Administrative Offences During the COVID Crisis Dear Ms. Worms, Regarding the above-mentioned inquiry, I report in detail as follows: To question 1: A total of 713 proceedings were initiated. To questions 2 and 3: Currently, 15 proceedings are still pending before the Naumburg District Court. Therefore, 698 proceedings have been concluded. To question 4: Monitoring of payments is not conducted by the legal and regulatory office. Payment monitoring is the responsibility of the finance department. However, a statistical analysis of incoming payments is technically not possible. To question 5: The retention period is 10 years. Yours sincerely, District Administrator Götz Ulrich Author: AI-Translation - Американский искусственный интеллект | |
