Столица земли Потсдам любит позиционировать себя как современный, благоприятный для детей город. Ещё в октябре 2025 года городская администрация ликовала по поводу избрания «мэра для всех»: Нуша Аубель (50 лет) с 72,9 % голосов заняла пост мэра Потсдама. Нуша Аубель, 1978 года рождения, заслужила себе репутацию в сфере помощи молодёжи, прежде чем стала высокопоставленным чиновником и, в конечном итоге, мэром. Именно под её руководством сейчас разворачивается во всех отношениях морально позорный скандал, который подрывает самооценку города как социально ориентированного и инклюзивного: двухлетний ребёнок со 100-процентной степенью инвалидности и 4-й степенью потребности в уходе уже более года тщетно ждёт законного места в детском саду с персональным помощником.Наше расследование основано на имеющихся судебных документах, жалобах в органы служебного надзора и запросах прессы. Оно показывает пугающую череду задержек, незаконных отказов и то, как пресс-служба мэрии Потсдама пытается выполнить свою обязанность по предоставлению информации лишь с помощью надуманных уловок. Затронутые этим люди видят в поведении городских властей не досадный единичный случай, а системный сбой: Еще в 2022 году старшая сестра ребенка с тяжелой инвалидностью не получила места в детском саду, несмотря на тяжелую инвалидность (100 процентов инвалидности с 5-й степенью ухода); и в этом случае ответственные лица столицы земли Потсдама полностью провалились, что вызывает вопросы о морали, приличиях, эмоциональной холодности и полной некомпетентности.
