Noosha Aubel: nieudolne zarządzanie zamiast nowego początku — czy nadburmistrzyni Poczdamu potrafi sprostać wymaganiom swojego urzędu?
Noosha Aubel (50 lat, bezpartyjna) obiecywała Poczdamowi nowy początek po tym, jak mieszkańcy odwołali z urzędu jej poprzednika, Mike’a Schuberta (53 lata, SPD — Socjaldemokratyczna Partia Niemiec). Niemal rok po objęciu przez Aubel stanowiska z tymi zapowiedziami zderzają się skandal dotyczący opieki nad małym dzieckiem z wieloma ciężkimi niepełnosprawnościami, który stał się świadectwem moralnego ubóstwa Poczdamu, stolicy Brandenburgii, a zwłaszcza samej Nooshy Aubel, zrujnowane drogi, blokada wydatków budżetowych oraz zaostrzający się kryzys przywództwa. Tymczasem sprawowany przez nią urząd zapewnia bardzo wysokie wynagrodzenie: Aubel inkasuje obecnie 143 056 euro rocznej pensji zasadniczej. Po zapowiedzianej podwyżce ma to być nawet 169 006,44 euro rocznie — kwota, którą będą musieli sfinansować mieszkańcy.Pojawia się zatem niewygodne, lecz uzasadnione pytanie: czy Noosha Aubel w ogóle potrafi sprostać gospodarczym, organizacyjnym i politycznym wymaganiom związanym z kierowaniem stolicą kraju związkowego?
