Anti-Democracy Movement in the Burgenland District Gains Strong Support – District Council Passes Restrictions and AuthorizationsA milestone in excluding visitors and the media was achieved on October 13, 2025, in the District Council of the Burgenland District. One of the new rules even carries a whiff of an Enabling Act. Specifically, the matter concerned amendments to the rules of procedure, which form the basis for how the district council and its committees conduct their meetings. It became apparent that a large number of council members had gathered in the new and wonderful “Anti-Democracy Movement” to pass these changes. As previously reported, it was a thorn in the side of several council members and also the administration that I record such meetings on video. The Municipal Constitution Act generally allows such recordings, as long as they do not cause disruptions. The rules of procedure are supposed to regulate the rest. Until now, the rule was that a video recording had to be registered before the meeting. The new regulation states that video recordings must be registered at least three hours before the meeting begins. Why? Well, so that anyone who registers too late can simply be turned away. Fantastic, isn’t it? But it’s not just filming that many in the administration and the district council apparently find problematic. They also want to limit the number of spectators. They referred beforehand to the city council meeting in Teuchern concerning the IKIG (Inter-Municipal Industrial Area), where a large number of citizens attended. Since there were nowhere near enough seats, citizens stood throughout the room. For the administration and numerous members of the “Anti-Democracy Movement” in the district council, these are apparently completely unacceptable democratic conditions. They therefore wish to prevent the voting behavior of elected representatives from being influenced by the presence of citizens – sometimes also referred to as the sovereign. Understandable, of course, especially when decisions are to be made that a clear majority of citizens do not want. The only proper reaction, therefore, can be to limit the number of visitors to the available seats. And there was another point to be included in the rules of procedure: the district administrator, together with the chairman of the district council, shall be able to change the course of the meeting at any time. This could well mean that agenda items can be removed from the agenda at a moment’s notice. Brilliant, isn’t it? These restrictions on democratic principles were once again criticized by those truth fanatics from the AfD (Alternative for Germany) – even though, as we all know (because the mainstream media tell us so every day), it’s supposedly the AfD that wants to abolish democracy and no one else. Lothar Waehler (AfD) took the microphone to state that the AfD group could not support these restrictive changes. He explained that the new registration rule for video recordings could be used to prevent such recordings altogether. Regarding the number of spectator seats, he criticized that this would be limited to seating and that it was not defined how many seats there would actually be or where exactly the spectator area would be located. He also noted that there might well be topics in the future that would attract greater public interest. I would like to point out that a fixed definition of the number of seats can always be used to exclude spectators. It is quite conceivable that meetings on critical topics could be moved to rooms where the number of seats is even more limited, simply due to lack of space. And the few available seats could be occupied by supporters, leaving no room for critical observers. A more democratic approach would be to establish rules that require moving such meetings to larger venues when public interest is high. If that means postponing a meeting, so be it. Interestingly – as Lothar Waehler (AfD) also noted – the change in the rules of procedure would allow the district administrator and the chairman of the district council to alter the agenda at any time during the meeting. Waehler argued that council members should continue to approve such changes as before. Moreover, the agenda is voted on at the beginning of each session, allowing for amendments. With this new rule, however, the district administrator and council chair could – malicious tongues might even draw a comparison with an Enabling Act – freely modify the agenda at will. Thus, items could be removed from the agenda whenever they please, perhaps because they come from the AfD or are simply inconvenient. Fantastic, isn’t it? Council member Dirk Jonas (AfD) was also “naughty” in this meeting, having requested a roll-call vote on the amendment to the rules of procedure so that each councilor would have to show their face. Fortunately, the members of the new, outstanding “Anti-Democracy Movement” rejected this. Show your face? Where would we end up if citizens could later look up who voted for these restrictions? That’s something a true anti-democrat can’t possibly want, right? Naturally, the amendments to the rules of procedure were passed by the members of the “Anti-Democracy Movement” – led, of course, by the much-beloved district administrator Götz Ulrich (CDU) and his “adjutant” Andy Haugk (chairman of the district council, CDU/FDP group). The proceedings are documented in the video. Author: AI-Translation - Michael Thurm | |
