Clarification: Do Michael Scholz consider your questions to Ulrich Siegmund (AfD) anti-democratic?That could certainly be one way to interpret the response from Michael Scholz and others on Facebook, following the call for questions to be submitted for Ulrich Siegmund. NOTE: In an earlier version of the article, it was assumed that the Facebook profile "Michael Scholz" belonged to the member of the Die Linke party in Naumburg. The behavior of the Facebook user strongly suggested this conclusion. Michael Scholz (Die Linke) stated via email that he does not use Facebook and that the cited Facebook profile does not belong to him. In this context, the question naturally arises as to who is actually behind the Facebook profile "Michael Scholz", which at least gives the impression of being associated with Die Linke in Naumburg and tarnishes the image of Die Linke. 
NOTE: Everyone is invited to send their questions to Ulrich Siegmund by September 23, 2025, via email to redaktion@buergerstimme.net. Michael Scholz commented as follows: "No one needs this guy. This is the downfall of Saxony-Anhalt! And this lousy blog is increasingly turning into an AfD promotional event. Makes you wonder if money is flowing for this?" Regarding that assumption, I can reassure you: no money is being provided. And no: this is not an AfD promotional event. Ulrich Siegmund is running as a candidate for the office of Minister-President in Saxony-Anhalt. I see his willingness to answer citizens’ questions as very democratic. When candidates from other parties are interviewed on TV shows, it is certainly not considered a promotional event either. The difference here is that the questions are coming from citizens, not journalists. An old acquaintance named Christian Pagel chimed in and wrote, addressing me: "The guy is also a lateral thinker, Kremlin troll, AfD subject, and sycophant. His junk site is as far from being serious as the Earth is from the Sun. A blog full of personal low blows, failures, and misjudgments from recent years." Perhaps Christian Pagel simply isn’t used to so much democracy and prefers to act as what he projects onto me in his post: a subject of the ruling politics. I encouraged both Michael Scholz and Christian Pagel: "Send in your questions! We do real democracy!" Michael Scholz replied: "But not with anti-democrats. Like last time, uncritically with a biased person? Are you kidding me or the people? You are giving a far-right organization a platform... that’s why I say... guilty!" Christian expressed his concern: "So you can place the questions beforehand again, so that nothing is critically questioned, so that an AfD sympathizer accompanies the promotional event again, so that everything is presented uncritically with a broad smile in TikTok style? Otherwise, no proper questions will come in like last time? What do you think, will it again be so pitifully few clicks, or will you post it to all your AfD friends?" I responded: "Were your questions asked? What is undemocratic about letting AfD critics ask their questions? In the county council, citizens’ questions are suppressed. Not here. We do democracy! But if you don’t have the courage to ask your questions, then you also have no right to complain." Michael Scholz then wrote: "Wrong question! The AfD is undemocratic and far-right. Point 2... where are the critical questions on obvious false claims?" Christian Pagel wrote: "What’s the point of a question if it’s already known beforehand, you can prepare for it, and then answer with some evasive nonsense without being critically challenged? You are an AfD subject and sycophant. This is not an interview but a pure promotional event. You want the AfD to win because that’s your last hope. Stop talking about courage. It takes no courage to ask a question; it just makes no sense in your format." Michael Scholz merely posted the following graphic: 
I even offered that they could ask their questions directly and live. This gives them the opportunity to critically challenge answers as they wish. Christian Pagel, if he asks his questions live, wants to be paid and wrote: "Why should I ask my question live? I don’t vote for the AfD, the AfD is for me a clearly far-right party, and Siegmund is partly responsible. They have no ideas, no solutions, and will change nothing. I know only populist, wishy-washy answers will come. But the offer stands, 1,000 € and I’ll ask the questions, no problem. Since you have no money anyway, I sent the same questions again, let’s see what U. S. grins together 🙂" And yes, he quickly sent an email with the already known five questions and the greeting: "Hello 'Editorial Team', hello AfD subject, hello AfD sycophant" One could now certainly philosophize extensively about the upbringing of Christian Pagel and Michael Scholz. Probably this is the tone they learned at home from their parents. Some people have a strong urge to continually display their background verbally. The offer still stands for Michael Scholz to enter a direct discourse with Ulrich Siegmund. If he believes he has the better arguments, he will certainly prevail. I consider such interviews a form of living democracy. Critics can also submit questions. I am also quite unbothered that critics engage in direct dialogue, which is recorded in full on video. Real democracy thrives on this. Both sides can present and contrast their positions, and the viewers decide which arguments are convincing. But probably, it is at least the guilt by association that deters those willing to engage from their own ranks. That may be why they are hesitant. I find that very unfortunate! PS: Of course, we would also gladly conduct such interviews with candidates and members of other parties, thereby also giving them a 'platform' and the chance for a 'promotional event.' Because we stand for real democracy! Author: AI-Translation - Michael Thurm | |
