نوشا أوبيل: إلى أي مدى ستتحمل بوتسدام المزيد من الفشل الإداري؟
طرق متهالكة رغم التحذيرات المستمرة منذ سنوات. طفل يعاني من إعاقة شديدة، لم يتم حتى اليوم تلبية احتياجاته المعترف بها من المساعدة بشكل عملي. وقيادة البلدية التي وعدت بتقديم حلول. في بوتسدام، يطرح الآن سؤال مزعج نفسه: هل ما زلنا نشهد أعطالاً فردية في الجهاز الإداري – أم أننا نشهد منذ فترة طويلة إخفاقاً هيكلياً شاملاً في الإدارة والقيادة، بدأ في عهد مايك شوبرت واستمر في عهد نوشا أوبيل؟
Нуша Аубель: Скільки ще Потсдам витримає адміністративних провалів?
Зруйновані дороги попри багаторічні попередження. Дитина з важкою інвалідністю, визнана потреба якої в допомозі досі не реалізована на практиці. І керівництво мерії, яке обіцяло знайти рішення. У Потсдамі наразі постає незручне запитання: Чи маємо ми справу з поодинокими промахами чиновників — чи вже давно з всеосяжною структурною адміністративною та управлінською неспроможністю, що почалася за часів Майка Шуберта і продовжується за Нооші Аубель?

Разрушенные дороги, несмотря на многолетние предупреждения. Ребёнок с тяжёлой формой инвалидности, чья признанная потребность в помощи до сих пор не нашла практического воплощения. И руководство мэрии, которое обещало найти решения. В Потсдаме теперь возникает неудобный вопрос: Имеем ли мы дело с единичными сбоями в работе ведомств — или уже давно наблюдаем всеобъемлющий структурный провал в управлении и руководстве, начавшийся при Майке Шуберте и продолжающийся при Нооше Аубель?
Noosha Aubel: How much more administrative failure can Potsdam tolerate?
