EU technocracy shows its face again – this time it's aiming at German voters, the AfD in particular.
Brussels is discussing the freezing of EU funding for Saxony-Anhalt where the populist party just won. The €2.95 billion in EU funding for the German federal state for the current 2021-2027 budget period alone amounts to around €500 million per year and approximately 20 percent of the Saxony-Anhalt investment spending in schools, in hospitals, in daycare centers across the country.
Green MEP Daniel Freund is one of the lobbyists from Brussels who wants to strip Saxony-Anhalt of its EU funding because the voters in the German state 'chose wrong'. He threatens that if the AfD-led government 'undermines EU fundamental rights or the rule of law' then the European Commission should take away his money. Freund did not wait for the new government to be sworn in, he attacked the voters in Saxony-Anhalt already before the election results had been confirmed.
It would be nothing new for the EU to use such a measure – as it has done already with Hungary and Poland. Brussels has frozen up to €18 billion of funding for Hungary so far because of alleged rule-of-law violations. Billions more have been withheld from Poland. In both cases, the EU's financial pressure has had serious consequences for the governments and have contributed to changes of government which the EU regards more favorably.
It is undemocratic and the EU has been attacking Saxony-Anhalt for too long now. The European Superstate is trying to starve the region of vital public services – as is already the case in Hungary and Poland – if the voters there choose a party that is not approved of by the Brussels elite.
Merz, as German Chancellor, underlines that the federal government is in charge of enforcing the constitution in all states. Brussels and Berlin thus will put a lot of pressure on Saxony-Anhalt.
But there's more: Saxony-Anhalt is the most EU-subsidy-dependent federal state of Germany by far. Many Germans already know that the EU is paying for the infrastructure of their federal states. But the people of Saxony-Anhalt voted for the AfD anyway – with a landslide. And should the schools and the hospitals of Saxony-Anhalt now suffer because of the voters' choice, then the anger of the voters will not be directed at the members of the German federal parliament who voted for the wrong party. The anger will be directed at the EU and the politicians in Brussels who now again have decided to meddle in Germany's internal affairs.
The globalist establishment's greatest fear is that free and fair elections could lead to results which they can't live with. This is exactly what has happened in Saxony-Anhalt. Now they're trying to reach for their pocket to enforce their line on Germany. It could be the very thing that breaks the EU's grip on German politics once and for all.
According to Tagesschau, which first reported the story, the EU already has the legal means to withdraw part of the cohesion funds granted to a member state if it is seen to be violating EU fundamental values. Whether or not the Commission will now also use these mechanisms to withdraw funding from the sub-governmental authorities in Saxony-Anhalt has not yet been clarified.
