politics

From August 1, 2001 Ulbig was Lord Mayor of the city of Pirna, he was last re-elected on June 8, 2008 with 64.9% of the votes.

On September 30, 2009, Ulbig was appointed and sworn in as Saxon Interior Minister in the Tillich II cabinet. He succeeded Albrecht Buttolo in office. Klaus-Peter Hanke was elected as his successor as Lord Mayor on January 17, 2010 .

On November 8, 2013, Ulbig was nominated for the new constituency 47 ( Dresden 7 ) as a CDU direct candidate for the state election in 2014 , in which he succeeded in entering the Saxon state parliament .

After Helma Orosz announced that she would step down from her position as Lord Mayor of Dresden on February 28, 2015, Ulbig was unanimously proposed by the Dresden CDU district committee as the CDU candidate for the mayor election on June 7, 2015. He received 15.4% of the vote in the first ballot, whereupon his candidacy was withdrawn.

After Prime Minister Stanislaw Tillich resigned and Michael Kretschmer took over the post on December 14, 2017, Ulbig was initially in office until December 18. When the cabinet was formed by the new Prime Minister, the previously controversial minister was replaced by Roland Wöller (CDU) and does not belong to the Kretschmer I cabinet .

In June 2018, he announced that he would no longer run for a mandate in the 2019 state elections and then pursue a freelance activity.

Controversy

On April 13, 2012, Ulbig received the BigBrotherAward 2012 in the “Authorities and Administration” category for the massive collection of movement data by the Saxon police on February 19, 2011 using radio cell interrogation .

He is criticized for his dealings with PEGIDA , the xenophobic protests in Dresden and Freital and the xenophobic excesses in Heidenau . Among other things, he is accused of being overwhelmed when dealing with the riots and of not having reacted in good time with countermeasures on several occasions. At the beginning of April 2015, Ulbig visited a Syrian refugee family with four children in Stollberg / Erzgeb. Criticism of this visit, which he himself described as “Lived Integration in Saxon”, arose at the end of May 2015 when this family was about to be deported five weeks after the appointment. The police operations during the riots in Heidenau were also criticized. 31 policemen were injured without an attacker being arrested. As a result, Heidenau was banned from gathering . Only after this was partially declared illegal by the Dresden Administrative Court , a welcome party for refugees of the alliance Dresden Naziffrei near the refugee home in Heidenau could take place on August 28, 2015 as planned.

When Ulbig arrived at this welcome party, some of those present reacted with incomprehension and insulted him. After a few minutes he left the place again.
