Нуша Аубель і Потсдам: довіра втрачена

Нооша Аубель: 33,4 мільйона євро дефіциту бюджету в столиці землі Потсдамі, близько 500 000 євро на зовнішні консультації, скориговані плани економії за рахунок дітей — та ганебний випадок із малюком із важкою інвалідністю, що переріс у скандал у дитячому садку: Нооша Аубель частково успадкувала ці кризи, але дефіцит керівництва тепер належить їй. 72,9 відсотка голосів на виборах — це не свідчення лідерських здібностей, це лише кредит. Нуша Аубель (50) отримала його в жовтні 2025 року в надзвичайно великому обсязі — і розтратила його за дивовижно короткий час. Надія на новий старт поступилася місцем гіркому розчаруванню, яке вже давно виходить за межі політичних супротивників. Вже через 100 днів спостерігачі повністю втратили нитку; у червні 2026 року медіа відкрито повідомляли про збентежених прихильників, самостійні дії та відсутність більшості. Критерій простий: чи краще працює Потсдам? Чи налагоджуються фінанси, чи готуються рішення та чи захищаються найслабші? Наразі відповідь така: ні. Потсдам хотів нового старту. Але отримав голову мерії, яка надто часто плутає мову менеджменту з лідерством і не може впоратися з проблемами в столиці землі. До цього додається ганебний скандал навколо малюка з множинною тяжкою інвалідністю, за якого Аубель несе кадрову відповідальність і який порушує питання моралі та пристойності. Особливо ганебним є те, що на запити ЗМІ керівник прес-служби мерії Потсдама Ян Брунцлов не відповідає — хоча, як доведено, з Нушою Аубель особисто зв’язувалися. Замість того, щоб прозоро й зрозуміло відповісти на поставлені запитання, Брунцлов, згідно з наявними документами, наполягає на «особистій розмові» і, очевидно, намагається таким чином перенести комунікацію в непублічну, неформальну площину. Якщо такий підхід дійсно порушує чинні зобов’язання щодо надання інформації, передбачені законодавством про пресу, то виникає принципове питання: чи підходить Нооша Аубель на посаду мера столиці землі Потсдама?
