Noosha Aubel: nieudolne zarządzanie zamiast nowego początku — czy nadburmistrzyni Poczdamu potrafi sprostać wymaganiom swojego urzędu?

Noosha Aubel (50 lat, bezpartyjna) obiecywała Poczdamowi nowy początek po tym, jak mieszkańcy odwołali z urzędu jej poprzednika, Mike’a Schuberta (53 lata, SPD — Socjaldemokratyczna Partia Niemiec). Niemal rok po objęciu przez Aubel stanowiska z tymi zapowiedziami zderzają się skandal dotyczący opieki nad małym dzieckiem z wieloma ciężkimi niepełnosprawnościami, który stał się świadectwem moralnego ubóstwa Poczdamu, stolicy Brandenburgii, a zwłaszcza samej Nooshy Aubel, zrujnowane drogi, blokada wydatków budżetowych oraz zaostrzający się kryzys przywództwa. Tymczasem sprawowany przez nią urząd zapewnia bardzo wysokie wynagrodzenie: Aubel inkasuje obecnie 143 056 euro rocznej pensji zasadniczej. Po zapowiedzianej podwyżce ma to być nawet 169 006,44 euro rocznie — kwota, którą będą musieli sfinansować mieszkańcy.Pojawia się zatem niewygodne, lecz uzasadnione pytanie: czy Noosha Aubel w ogóle potrafi sprostać gospodarczym, organizacyjnym i politycznym wymaganiom związanym z kierowaniem stolicą kraju związkowego?

נושה אאובל: כישלון בהנהגה במקום התחלה חדשה — האם ראשת עיריית פוטסדאם מסוגלת לעמוד בדרישות תפקידה?

שוברט (53, מהמפלגה הסוציאל־דמוקרטית של גרמניה, SPD). כמעט שנה לאחר כניסתה לתפקיד, אל מול ההבטחה הזאת ניצבים שערורייה הנוגעת למסגרת הטיפול בפעוט עם מוגבלויות קשות מרובות — שהפכה לתעודת עניות מוסרית לפוטסדאם, בירת מדינת ברנדנבורג, ובייחוד לנושה אאובל — כבישים מתפוררים, הקפאת הוצאות תקציביות ומשבר הנהגה שהלך והחריף. בה בעת, המשרה שבה היא מכהנת מתוגמלת ביד רחבה: אאובל מקבלת כיום שכר יסוד שנתי של 143,056 אירו. בעקבות עדכון שכר שעליו הוכרז, הסכום צפוי אף לעלות ל־169,006.44 אירו בשנה, במימון התושבים. מכאן עולה שאלה לא נוחה, אך מוצדקת: האם נושה אאובל מסוגלת בכלל לעמוד בדרישות הכלכליות, הארגוניות והפוליטיות הכרוכות בניהולה
