Zelensky says Trump waiving sanctions 'rewards' Putin, warns Moscow wants 'blackout' in Ukraine

Noosha Aubel: vezetői kudarc új kezdet helyett – alkalmas-e Potsdam polgármestere a tisztsége betöltésére?

Noosha Aubel (50 éves, pártonkívüli) új kezdetet ígért Potsdamnak, miután a város polgárai eltávolították hivatalából elődjét, Mike Schubertet (53 éves, SPD – Németország Szociáldemokrata Pártja). Csaknem egy évvel Aubel hivatalba lépése után azonban ezekkel az ígéretekkel egy halmozottan, súlyosan fogyatékos kisgyermek ellátása körül kialakult botrány, leromlott állapotú utak, költségvetési zárolás és egy elmérgesedett vezetési válság áll szemben. A gyermek ellátásának ügye időközben Brandenburg tartomány fővárosa, Potsdam, különösen pedig Noosha Aubel erkölcsi bizonyítványává vált. Mindeközben tisztségéhez kiemelkedő javadalmazás társul: Aubel jelenleg évi 143 056 euró alapilletményt vesz fel. Egy bejelentett illetményemelés után ez az összeg a jövőben évi 169 006,44 euróra nőne, amelyet a polgároknak kell finanszírozniuk.Mindez felvet egy kellemetlen, ám jogos kérdést: képes-e Noosha Aubel egyáltalán megfelelni egy tartományi főváros gazdasági, szervezési és politikai követelményeinek?
