Enemies of the Constitution and Democracy in the District Administration – Escalation at the Demonstration in Zeitz on January 5, 2026As already reported, the registered demonstration in Zeitz was burdened with numerous restrictions by the Legal and Public Order Office of the Burgenland district, which clearly express arbitrariness and can be described as deliberately unlawful. But on January 5, 2026, there was a further escalation. 
The demonstrators who wanted to take part in the march on foot intended—just like the vehicles—to use the road. This, however, was prohibited by the Legal and Public Order Office, more precisely by its employee Mr. Runkewitz. He stated that the road could only be used starting from 20 cars and 50 pedestrians. There is likely no legal basis for this. According to a participant on site, the police threatened fines if the demonstrators did not comply with this requirement. The demonstration organizer informed Mr. Runkewitz that the protest march, consisting of cars and participants on foot, would use the roads. Mr. Runkewitz then announced that the police would immediately stop, prohibit, and disperse the protest march, since even driving the cars at walking speed would constitute an obstruction to traffic, and the unauthorized use of the roads by pedestrians would as well. The criminal offense of coercion by Mr. Runkewitz and also by the police can quite reasonably be considered fulfilled. For this reason, the demonstrators refrained from holding a car convoy and demonstration march on Monday. Once again, it is evident that the district administration of the Burgenland district is very eager to restrict the visibility of demonstrations—even those demonstrations for freedom, peace, and justice. Not only was the use of the road prohibited, but what the demonstrators are allowed to proclaim on their placards, flags, and banners is also supposed to correspond explicitly only to the topic stated in the demonstration registration. But who defines which slogans still correspond to the topic of the demonstration? And how can it be that the Legal and Public Order Office dares to restrict freedom of expression in this way? Violations are to be attributed to the organizer. She is thus expected to ensure the restriction of freedom of expression herself. Enemies of the Constitution and Democracy in the District AdministrationOne can—indeed, one must—come to the conclusion that there are enemies of the constitution and democracy within the district administration who allow arbitrariness to prevail. On the one hand, there is a prohibition of arbitrariness in Germany; on the other hand, the right to demonstrate is among the defensive rights of citizens against governing policy. In Zeitz, it once again becomes clear how hostile to the constitution the district administration is.Will this have consequences for the employees involved?We can probably assume that this conduct will have no consequences. Experience shows that unlawful conduct in parts of the district administration is part of everyday business. The district administration is a master at sitting things out—not only objection proceedings. Even District Administrator Götz Ulrich (CDU) himself has difficulty adhering to clear administrative law regulations. It is also his view that those affected should file lawsuits. He therefore rejects correcting clearly recognizable unlawful conduct himself.One can likewise assume that Mr. Runkewitz, who has repeatedly drawn attention in the past in connection with the restriction of demonstrations, was kept in this position by District Administrator Götz Ulrich precisely because Mr. Runkewitz is so good at restricting demonstrations critical of the government.
