Russia hails Trump waiving sanctions as 'historic'

Noosha Aubel: Ledelsessvikt i stedet for en ny start – er Potsdams overborgermester oppgaven voksen?

Noosha Aubel (50, partiløs) lovet Potsdam en ny start etter at byens innbyggere hadde stemt forgjengeren hennes, Mike Schubert (53, SPD – Tysklands sosialdemokratiske parti), ut av embetet. Nesten ett år etter at Aubel tiltrådte, står løftet i skarp kontrast til en skandale rundt omsorgstilbudet til et lite barn med flere svært alvorlige funksjonsnedsettelser, forfalne veier, utgiftsstopp og en tilspisset ledelseskrise. Omsorgsskandalen har utviklet seg til en moralsk fallitterklæring for delstatshovedstaden Potsdam og særlig for Noosha Aubel. Samtidig er embetet hennes svært godt lønnet: Aubel hever for tiden en årlig grunnlønn på 143 056 euro. Etter en varslet lønnsjustering skal beløpet til og med øke til 169 006,44 euro i året, finansiert av innbyggerne.Dermed melder det seg et ubehagelig, men berettiget spørsmål: Er Noosha Aubel i det hele tatt i stand til å oppfylle de økonomiske, organisatoriske og politiske kravene som stilles til ledelsen av en delstatshovedstad?
