Joachim Haedke

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joachim Haedke (born February 27, 1970 in Munich ) is a German CSU politician and entrepreneur. From 1998 to 2008 he was a member of the Bavarian State Parliament .

Life

Joachim Haedke graduated from high school in Munich in 1989. In 1989/1990 he did his military service with the Pioneer Training Battalion in Munich. He then studied business administration and philosophy at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and political science at the Munich School of Politics from 1990 to 1995 . In 1996 he obtained his degree in business administration and the intermediate diploma in political science . Haedke is the owner of Haedke Consulting . The company, founded in 1993, focuses on corporate finance and private equity for small and medium-sized companies. In addition, Haedke held executive functions in various companies in the 1990s.

Political career

In 1986 he joined the Junge Union and the CSU. In 1987 he became chairman of a JU working group "Economy & Finances" and developed programs in this area. From 1988 to 1991 he was chairman of the Giesing JU branch . From 1991 to 1995 he was chairman of the JU district association Giesing / Harlaching, which was expanded to include Sendling in 1993. From 1995 to the end of 2001 he was the district chairman of the Münchner Junge Union and was thus a member of the state committee of the JU-Bavaria (until 2003). Under his chairmanship, two major programs were drawn up at the Munich University of Applied Sciences: 1996 the “Offensive 2000” and in 2000 the “Millennium Program”, which were developed in numerous working groups. From 1995 to 2004 he was also a member of the district committee of the CSU Munich, most recently as secretary .

As part of his board activities, he became chairman of the “Future Commission” in the Munich CSU in 2002. The task was to give the CSU Munich a more modern, more urban city profile.

Joachim Haedke has been chairman of the young group of the CSU parliamentary group since 2008. The Young Group is an association of younger CSU MPs who ostensibly campaigns for the concerns of the younger generation. The Young Group in the Bavarian State Parliament has already set up pension funds for civil servants' pensions. Haedke would like to maintain the course of sustainable financial policy.

Member of the state parliament

Haedke was elected as a direct candidate in the Bavarian State Parliament on September 13, 1998 ( constituency Munich-Giesing ). He achieved 43.4% while his opponent, the former Third Mayor of Munich Klaus Hahnzog, achieved 36.5%. In the 14th legislative period he was a member of the Committee for Local Affairs and Internal Security and the Committee for State Development and Environmental Issues . In addition, during this legislative period he was a deputy member of the study commission "With new energy into the new millennium", whose task it was to develop recommendations for Bavarian energy policy.

On September 21, 2003, Haedke was confirmed as a direct candidate in the Munich-Giesing district for the 15th legislative period of the Bavarian state parliament. He achieved 46%, while the vote share of his opponent, the SPD politician Adelheid Rupp, was 13.6% lower. Since then he has been a member of the Committee on Community Issues and Internal Security and the Data Protection Commission .

He was no longer eligible for the 2008 state elections.

Political course and positioning

Haedke always strived for a more liberal, metropolitan image of the CSU Munich, whereby, due to his membership in the interior committee of the Bavarian state parliament, he knew how to stand up for law and order at the same time . He held key positions in the course of his work as Chairman of the Future Commission (2002) of the CSU Munich. These were launched in numerous articles in the media and finally presented to the public with the then CSU district chairman Johannes Singhammer . Other points picked up in the media were the changes in the CSU family policy, which was still extremely conservative at the time, at the urban level. He called for this to be better adapted to the high number of single households (> 50% in Munich) and the needs of young women. The taboo of minorities living in urban society (homosexuals etc.) should also be ended and an active dialogue should be started. Haedke called for a content-related discussion within the CSU to implement his idea. Everyone who held a higher office should have to participate in it. Haedke has a reputation for being a self-confident source of ideas. In the 07/08 election program for local elections, the CSU Munich has already taken over essential aspects.

Political work

End of the ticket quota

Haedke obtained the end of the Bavarian speeding ticket quota in July 2001. Until now, every Bavarian patrol officer had to distribute three speeding tickets a day. According to the then deputy head of the Munich police department , Robert Heimberger, this meant that the officers were assessed according to how many “rags” they distributed. The then state chairman of the police union (GdP), Werner Leberfinger, saw the regulation as a brake in the flow of traffic of the police: “Our officers in the patrol car are in Munich anyway on duty trips for the operations center, with the processing of the tasks that are on the patrol slip , and the property protection . ”Haedke asked the then Minister of the Interior and later Prime Minister Günther Beckstein in his function as a member of the Interior Committee to comment, whereupon the Ministry of the Interior declared that it wanted to examine the situation. Thereupon an intensive journalistic, but also internal discussion started. In numerous meetings and discussions, Haedke succeeded in obtaining a declaration in the Interior Committee that no ticket quotas would be imposed.

Introduction of the carnival holidays

Haedke asked the Committee for Education, Youth and Sport for a carnival break in 2001. He wanted families to use it to shorten the time between the Christmas and Easter holidays. The committee decided that the state government has to submit concrete models and a point in time to the state parliament when the holidays can be introduced. The spokeswoman for the then Minister of Education, Monika Hohlmeier , Claudia Piatzer: "Monika Hohlmeier is very sympathetic to the application, she is currently checking how it can be implemented." Haedke made the suggestion to shorten the summer vacation by three days. In the end, his request was followed by the parliamentary groups of CSU and Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen as well as some SPD representatives.

Law to make municipal standards more flexible

Joachim Haedke presented the CSU parliamentary group as well as the “Henzler Commission” with a draft law on “Financial relief for the municipalities by making performance standards more flexible”. The aim of this, for example, was that municipalities could always deviate from state standards if this deviation was approved by a responsible ministry. The background to this is that municipal buildings such as kindergartens are often outrageously expensive because a state regulation forces local politicians to make purchases that, in a specific case, are superfluous, pointless or duplicate. The Ministry of the Interior could approve such applications. In Saarland , a similar law is already used successfully.

Since 2003, the flexibilisation of municipal standards has also been used in individual cases in Bavaria, so between 2003 and 2004 over 350 individual proposals were made. “In this way, we not only create new room for maneuver for the municipalities, but also provide positive impulses for economic development and for citizen orientation and speed of administration. The economy and our citizens benefit from this, ”reports State Chancellery Eberhard Sinner .

New police task law / interception law prevented

Haedke campaigned against an internal legislative proposal by the CSU parliamentary group regarding the Police Tasks Act (PAG). The Police Task Act differs from state to state and regulates the tasks of the security authorities as well as the legal provisions to be observed. As a specific proposal, some CSU parliamentary group members wanted to introduce a preventive monitoring option. A police officer without a judicial authorization could have had this wiretapped on the mere suspicion that a person might commit a crime. Haedke, who was against the law from the start and was the first to distance himself from it, described it as a “quick shot”. In his opinion, it should have been discussed more thoroughly in the group beforehand. He found that it contained excessive interference with the fundamental rights of citizens. So it saw z. B. provide for the police to be able to monitor people in "danger" for up to three days without a court order. The law was withdrawn, and numerous parliamentarians as well as church and media representatives joined Haedke's protest.

No new taxes

Joachim Haedke heavily criticized the proposal of the then parliamentary group chairman and current state parliament president, Alois Glück , as well as the former head of the Bavarian State Chancellery and today's Minister of Finance Erwin Huber to introduce a new taxation in the form of a minor tax (minor taxes are usually less than 0.1% of the total tax revenue. The dog, cinema or salt tax are examples of the various forms of minor taxes). Huber and Glück wanted to leave this money to the municipalities and hoped to increase their income in order to give them more creative freedom "and to guarantee the principle of subsidiarity ". Haedke was of a different opinion: “I think this is absolutely the wrong way to go. Instead of new taxes, one should think about tax cuts. ”In his opinion, the only slight additional income combined with the extremely high administrative burden would mean a zero-sum game. In addition, new burdens for citizens at that time had negative effects on their wallets. Haedke's initiative was ultimately successful and no new taxes were introduced.

Venture capital

On the initiative of Joachim Haedke, the Bavarian state government started a Federal Council initiative with his demands. Haedke criticized that the federal government prevented the creation of new jobs by incorrectly planning and not implementing a regulation for so-called venture capital financing. His aim was to create an investment-friendly climate in order to enable medium-sized companies to obtain financing that is independent of banks and to create new jobs.

The law was passed on June 18, 2004 with votes from the Greens, the CDU / CSU and the SPD in the Bundestag. The then Finance Minister Kurt Faltlhauser said in a public event that, to the best of his knowledge, Haedke's proposal was the only CSU country offensive that was decided under the Red-Green.

Transrapid

After the end of the Transrapid on the Hamburg - Berlin route, Joachim Haedke was the first politician to demand the Transrapid on the route from Munich Central Station to the Franz Josef Strauss Airport. At the time, Lord Mayor Christian Ude described it as a “crazy idea”, whereupon Haedke had a Lower Bavarian schnapps brought to the town hall “so that he would have such an idea” after a change of opinion. He does not consider Munich competitive as a major European city without a directly connected airport. In addition, in his opinion, this is the only way to make a train journey attractive for long-distance travelers and only in this way can the use of local public transport be ecologically sustainable.

Relaxation of the Bavarian blocking period regulation

At the CSU working conference in Banz Monastery , Haedke called for the general closing time during the week, on the weekend and on non-silent public holidays to be extended by one hour each night. Subsequently, some members of the CSU parliamentary group had made an urgency request. Haedke criticized the fact that the Bavarian closed-time regulation was the strictest in comparison to all other federal states and thus also complied with the long request of the Bavarian Hotel and Restaurant Association , which had been calling for it for a long time. He also wanted the police to take more responsibility for dealing with exceedances of the curfew. The application was passed on October 9, 2002 in the state parliament. Haedke said: "With this relaxation we are meeting the changing behavior of the population as well as the demands of the innkeepers." According to Haedke and other politicians from the CSU parliamentary group, if the new regulation goes well, it could be completely abolished in the medium term the blocking period, with the exception of the so-called cleaning hour. This law came into force on January 1st, 2005.

Successful dispute with Scientology up to the Federal Constitutional Court

As head of the Junge Union München, Joachim Haedke published a press release in which he threatened to publish the names of companies that work with Scientology . His goal was to weaken Scientology, which he perceived as a threat to the people of Munich. When the company responsible for the distribution of Scientology books was terminated, it sued the JU Munich for an injunction. The lawsuit was upheld in the first instance. "It is unbelievable when a youth organization is no longer allowed to say that Scientology is dangerous," Haedke said, angry about the verdict. The appeal hearing at the Munich Higher Regional Court was also lost. The company then applied to impose a fine on the JU, but this was rejected. However, the judgment was not accepted. Thus, a constitutional complaint was lodged with the Federal Constitutional Court, which was finally won. The case has now been referred back to the Munich Higher Regional Court, but the company withdrew the action, as a defeat before the OLG was to be expected against the background of the constitutional court ruling.

Memberships

Haedke is a member of the SME parliamentary group (PKM) of the CSU parliamentary group in the Bavarian state parliament and until November 29, 2005 was a member of the board of the Munich district association of the self-employed / German trade association.

Role in the "Munich CSU affair"

Haedke was referred to by the Munich District Court during the verdict on June 29, 2004 as the “mastermind” of the “ Munich CSU affair ” over vote buying and election manipulation. The district judge Petra Axhausen accused him of having "violated the basic rules of democracy". Since, in contrast to those involved, Christian Baretti , Rasso Graber and Stephanie Lütge, no criminal offenses could be proven, he went unpunished.

By resolution of the Munich CSU district executive, Haedke was deprived of all party office on July 19, 2004 for five years. On July 22nd, 2004 he initiated a party expulsion procedure against himself so that “an uninfluenceable party court” could correct the “distorted image of myself”. On July 23, 2004, the Munich CSU party leadership decided unanimously to initiate a party expulsion process against him.

This first attempt failed, however. On April 27, 2005, the party arbitration court refused to expel Haedke on the grounds that after he had already been banned from all party offices, there should be no double punishment.

On May 30, 2005, Haedke refused to give any testimony before the investigative committee in the Bavarian state parliament in order not to incriminate himself.

At its state assembly in Schweinfurt , the Junge Union demanded from the CSU state parliamentary group on July 10, 2005, to expel Joachim Haedke as a result of the Perlach election affair. On August 12, 2005, the SPD in the Bavarian state parliament called on the CSU parliamentary group to support a lawsuit against Haedke. SPD parliamentary group leader Franz Maget warned the CSU in a letter "not to abuse their two-thirds majority and no longer tolerate Haedke, who is referred to as the mastermind, in their ranks". The CSU immediately rejected the request. She wanted to wait for the result of the Hohlmeier committee of inquiry and the party-internal arbitration proceedings against Joachim Haedke.

The spokesman for the Munich CSU, Helmut Pfundstein, told Bayerischer Rundfunk on December 12, 2005 that the Munich district association wanted to challenge the decision of the arbitral tribunal and appeal. Haedke could not stay in the party because the CSU had sustained considerable damage through his behavior. This decision was made with a “broad majority”. In contrast to the Munich district association, the spokesman for the CSU state parliamentary group Oliver Platzer emphasized: "There is no need for action for the group".

On July 8, 2006, the CSU regional arbitration court ruled under its chairman, Chief Public Prosecutor Clemens Lückemann, that Haedke's exclusion was inadmissible. It rejected the corresponding request of the CSU city council again. The already imposed five-year ban on holding party offices should not be followed by any further punishment for formal reasons, although Haedke's behavior in the Munich CSU affair "would also justify his exclusion". The Munich party leader Otmar Bernhard "had declared before the arbitration proceedings that the Munich CSU top had tried everything to get rid of him with their request for exclusion, which was championed by all party instances". After the failure at the regional arbitration court, the CSU district association considers the Haedke case to be over. City councilor and lawyer Evelyne Menges, who represented the Munich CSU before the party court, said that they “were disappointed with the decision (...). The court did not follow the legal opinion of the Munich CSU ".

On July 10, 2006, the Bavarian Greens Prime Minister Edmund Stoiber and CSU parliamentary group leader Joachim Herrmann called on Joachim Haedke to be expelled from the CSU in the state parliament. Theresa Schopper , state chairman of the Greens in Bavaria, told the German Press Agency : "Otherwise the impression remains that election fraud and member purchases in the CSU are more or less part of the party folklore and are not punished as criminal machinations".

At the end of January 2007, Haedke came under political pressure again. Even before the final report on the “Munich CSU Affair” was published, the SPD and the Greens reiterated the demand to remove Haedke from the state parliament. At the same time, Haedke attempted a political re-entry by advocating greater consideration of metropolitan issues in the CSU party program. That met with criticism from within the party.

On March 15, 2007 Joachim Haedke announced at a press conference that he would no longer run for the Bavarian state parliament in 2008. "Unfortunately, as an implausible person, I can no longer do politics," said Haedke. He wants to remain a member of the CSU and continue to work as a management consultant.
