Midwives Dying Out and the Shrinking EastThe contrasts between reality and the actions of the ruling politics could hardly be greater.  Everywhere we hear that Germany is facing a shortage of skilled workers. Children are said to be important for the future. The population is shrinking – especially in Saxony-Anhalt. Member of the Bundestag Dr. Christina Baum (AfD) promotes the following petition against the deterioration of midwives’ working conditions, which will come into effect on November 1, 2025. Does government policy therefore have no real interest in children? Women and Children in Danger – Stop the New Midwife Care Contract The situation of midwives in Germany is critical! The new Midwife Care Contract, adopted on April 2, 2025, threatens obstetric care through worsened conditions. Many midwives are understandably unsettled and demand that the figures of the contract be validated immediately. They speak openly about the incompetence of midwives’ associations and the cleverness of the GKV, which, after eight years of negotiations, has not achieved an improvement in the situation of midwives but, through this contract, caused massive risks for pregnant women and children. They calculated income losses of up to 30% for attending midwives, an uneconomical freelance practice, the closure of a quarter of obstetric services – the system close to 1:1 care – and insufficient care provided by clinics. If this contract comes into force on November 1, massive waves of resignations will follow, which have already begun. Pregnant women and children will suffer! Action must be taken now. The figures of the Midwife Contract must be validated immediately. Until then, the GKV must withdraw the contract and the BMG must oppose the arbitration award. Therefore, support this petition. For the protection of our children, expectant mothers, and families. Dr. Christina Baum Courageous. Patriotic. Freedom-loving! Member of the German Bundestag Click here for the petition Government supporters are currently circulating the following graphic online, intended to suggest that an AfD government would lead to a worsening of the shortage of skilled workers. The change in population figures is presented dramatically. 
And yes, the population of Saxony-Anhalt has declined, as can be read at https://www.demografie-portal.de/DE/Fakten/bevoelkerungsentwicklung-regional-sachsen-anhalt.html. At https://www.demografie-portal.de/DE/Fakten/bevoelkerungszahl-sachsen-anhalt.html one learns that the decline has been ongoing since 1972, due to the fact that in Saxony-Anhalt more people die than are born. Since 1990, Saxony-Anhalt has lost almost 700,000 inhabitants. The decline, therefore, cannot be attributed to the statements and goals of the AfD, but rather to the policies of the CDU, SPD, Greens, and FDP, who have governed since 1990. For these parties have so far failed to provide solutions to stop the population decline. Supporting families? Supporting children? Free daycare? Education? Addressing the shortage of teachers? Strengthening the economy so that families settle in Saxony-Anhalt and young adults choose to have as many children as possible? Immigration and migration, which the graphic suggests as a solution, have so far not reversed the trend. Obviously, Saxony-Anhalt does not even offer migrants what they are looking for to settle specifically here. Migration cannot realistically be seen as the solution. Whether the AfD, if given government responsibility, would succeed in achieving a turnaround, and how quickly it would have an effect, is something no one can know today. But we do know that the previous governing parties have failed to stop or reverse this development over the past 35 years. Especially since these parties would have had the opportunity to make the necessary decisions if they had truly wanted to. Author: AI-Translation - Michael Thurm | |
