Нуша Аубель проповідує відповідальність, а розбиті дороги Потсдама викривають провали керівництва
Нуша Аубель (50 років, безпартійна) нещодавно в Інтернеті закликала політичних виборних посадовців до особливої публічної відповідальності. На вулиці Рудольфа-Брайтшайда в Потсдамі-Бабельсберзі мер Потсдама тепер мусить відповідати саме цій вимозі: за результатами аналізу відеозапису, який є у розпорядженні редакції, було зафіксовано щонайменше 34 окремі відкриті тріщини з гострими краями на дорожньому покритті, що викликає сором. Резонансними і водночас показовими щодо скандального у багатьох сферах провалу відповідальних осіб у мерії столиці землі Потсдама під керівництвом чинної мера Потсдама Нуши Аубель є офіційні публікації, які документують проблему, про яку відомо вже роками. Для керівництва мерії, яке так наполегливо вимагає відповідальності, цей стан є водночас переломним моментом і випробуванням власних досягнень.
Нуша Аубель учит ответственности, но разбитые дороги Потсдама выдают провалы управления
Нуша Аубель (50 лет, беспартийная) недавно в интернете потребовала от политических должностных лиц особой публичной ответственности. На улице Рудольфа-Брайтшайда в Потсдаме-Бабельсберге мэр Потсдама теперь должна будет пройти проверку именно по этому критерию: в видеоанализе, имеющемся в распоряжении редакции, насчитывается, к сожалению, как минимум 34 отдельных открытых выбоины с острыми краями на дорожном покрытии. Взрывоопасными и в то же время показательными для скандального провала ответственных лиц в мэрии столицы земли Потсдама, возглавляемой действующим мэром Потсдама Нушей Аубель, являются официальные публикации, документирующие проблему, о которой известно уже много лет. Для руководства мэрии, столь настойчиво требующего ответственности, такое положение дел является одновременно переломным моментом и пробным камнем собственной эффективности.
Noosha Aubel calls for accountability in Potsdam; a road disaster highlights leadership shortcomings
Noosha Aubel (50, independent) recently called on elected politicians online to demonstrate a particular sense of public responsibility. On Rudolf-Breitscheid Street in Potsdam-Babelsberg, Potsdam’s Lord Mayor must now be judged against precisely this standard: a video analysis available to this editorial team shamefully counts at least 34 separate, open cracks with sharp edges in the road surface. Official publications documenting a problem that has been known for years are both explosive and indicative of the scandalous failure – in several areas – of those in charge at Potsdam City Hall, under the leadership of the current Mayor of Potsdam, Noosha Aubel. For a city leadership that demands accountability so emphatically, this state of affairs represents both a turning point and a litmus test of its own performance.
