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 (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.
