CDU Hot Air in the Spa Town! Political Babble: The Stolberg Declaration as a Symptom of Cowardice


The state governments of Thuringia and Saxony-Anhalt have presented the "Stolberg Declaration," a paper that claims to radiate economic strength – but in reality documents political stagnation. While Germany is in a deep recession, the two state governments portray themselves as self-satisfied managers of the misery.

Big Words, No Substance

The press release reads like it was lifted from a PR handbook: "powerful development," "reliable partnership," "strong voice of the East." Only problem: not a single sentence explains how growth will be generated or jobs secured. Instead of concrete reforms, there are platitudes. No investment plans, no industrial policy strategy, no answers on energy prices or corporate flight. Politics on autopilot.

Shifting Responsibility Instead of Leading

Instead of offering their own ideas, Haseloff and Voigt demand that the federal government reduce bureaucracy, cap social contributions, and extend funding programs. In doing so, they reveal their own political emptiness. Anyone who only points to Berlin is simultaneously admitting that they intend to do nothing themselves. State politics here degenerates into a purely supplicant role.

Refusing Reality in Self-Praise

"Central Germany is both the political heart and an economic powerhouse," says Voigt. The opposite is true: depopulation, skilled labor shortages, and crumbling infrastructure dominate the picture. Instead of addressing these problems openly, both governments cloak their region in false pathos. The gap between rhetoric and reality is so obvious that it borders on cynicism.

No Idea How to Secure Prosperity

Nothing in the declaration shows how the states intend to relieve companies, attract investments, or retain value creation. Not a word about education, research, skilled workers, or digitalization. Instead: programs, commissions, concept papers. Bureaucratic busywork masquerading as economic policy.

Symbolic Politics as a Substitute for Courage

The "Stolberg Declaration" is not a program for the future but a piece of political theater – a collection of pleasing phrases for the moment, not for reality. It shows how state politics has become a showcase: lots of rhetoric, no direction. Central Germany does not need more declarations, it finally needs decisions.

Three Decades of CDU Rule Without Direction

The CDU has governed Saxony-Anhalt for over three decades – and despite this long tenure has failed to give the state a clear economic direction. Instead of bold industrial policy, real structural reforms, or investments in future industries, it has delivered nothing but administration, postponement, and empty buzzwords for years. The party has settled into maintaining its own power while businesses close, young people leave, and entire regions wither. Anyone still talking about "potentials" after so long in power clearly has no vision – only routine in political stagnation.

Conclusion

This press release is not a signal of strength but a document of cowardice. It exposes a political class hiding its own speechlessness behind PR vocabulary. While businesses close and people worry about jobs, the governments celebrate statements of intent. If this is supposed to be "strong Central Germany," it is weaker than even it believes.
