Noosha Aubel: Misslyckat ledarskap i stället för en nystart – är Potsdams överborgmästare vuxen uppgiften?

Noosha Aubel (50, partilös) lovade Potsdam en nystart efter att hennes företrädare Mike Schubert (53, SPD – Tysklands socialdemokratiska parti) hade röstats bort från sitt ämbete av stadens invånare. Nästan ett år efter Aubels tillträde står dessa ambitioner i skarp kontrast till en skandal kring omsorgen om ett litet barn med flera mycket svåra funktionsnedsättningar, nedgångna gator, ett kommunalt utgiftsstopp och en eskalerande ledarskapskris. Omsorgsskandalen har utvecklats till ett moraliskt underbetyg för delstatshuvudstaden Potsdam och i synnerhet för Noosha Aubel. Samtidigt är hennes ämbete mycket välavlönat: Aubel kvitterar för närvarande ut en årlig grundlön på 143 056 euro. Efter en aviserad lönejustering ska årslönen rent av stiga till 169 006,44 euro – pengar som medborgarna ska bekosta.Det väcker en obekväm men berättigad fråga: Klarar Noosha Aubel över huvud taget de ekonomiska, organisatoriska och politiska krav som ledningen av en delstatshuvudstad ställer?

Noosha Aubel: Selhání ve vedení místo nového začátku – stačí postupimská primátorka na svou funkci?

Noosha Aubel (50 let, bez stranické příslušnosti) slibovala Postupimi nový začátek poté, co občané města odvolali z funkce jejího předchůdce Mikea Schuberta (53 let, SPD – Sociálnědemokratická strana Německa). Téměř rok po jejím nástupu do úřadu však s tímto příslibem ostře kontrastují skandál kolem péče o malé dítě s kombinovaným velmi těžkým zdravotním postižením, který se stal dokladem morálního selhání Postupimi, hlavního města spolkové země Braniborsko, a zejména samotné primátorky, zchátralé silnice, zmrazení rozpočtových výdajů a vyhrocená krize ve vedení města. Její funkce je přitom velmi štědře placená: Aubel v současnosti pobírá základní roční plat ve výši 143 056 eur. Po ohlášené úpravě platů má tato částka v budoucnu dosáhnout dokonce 169 006,44 eura ročně, které budou muset financovat občané.Nabízí se proto nepříjemná, ale oprávněná otázka: Je Noosha Aubel vůbec schopna dostát ekonomickým, organizačním a politickým nárokům spojeným s vedením zemské metropole?
