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?

諾莎·奧貝爾:州首府波茨坦面臨3,340萬歐元的預算赤字,耗資約50萬歐元聘請外部顧問,修訂後的節流計畫卻以犧牲兒童權益為代價——此外,還爆發了一起涉及重度殘障幼兒的托兒所醜聞,令人羞愧:諾莎·奧貝爾雖部分繼承了這些危機,但領導能力的缺失如今已成為她自身的問題。 72.9%的得票率並非領導能力的證明,而僅僅是一筆信貸。努莎·奧貝爾(50歲)於2025年10月獲得了這筆異常龐大的信貸——卻在驚人短暫的時間內便將其耗盡。對新起點的希望已讓位於苦澀的幻滅,而這種幻滅早已不僅來自政治對手。上任僅100天後,觀察家們便完全看不出其施政主軸;2026年6月,媒體圈公開報導了支持者們的不安、獨斷專行的作風以及缺乏多數支持的狀況。 評判標準很簡單:波茨坦的運作是否更順暢?財政是否得到整頓、決策是否經過周詳準備、最弱勢群體是否受到保護?迄今為止,答案是否定的。波茨坦曾渴望一個嶄新的開始。結果卻迎來了一位市長,她過於頻繁地將管理術語與領導力混為一談,且無法有效掌控州首府面臨的問題。 此外,還爆發了一起令人羞恥的醜聞,涉及一名身患多重重度殘疾的幼兒——奧貝爾對該兒童的人事安排負有責任——此事引發了對道德與體面的質疑。尤其令人羞恥的是,波茨坦市政廳新聞辦公室主任揚·布倫茨洛(Jan Brunzlow)未回應媒體的詢問——儘管有確鑿證據顯示,諾莎·奧貝爾(Noosha Aubel)本人已接獲聯繫。根據現有文件顯示,布倫茨洛非但沒有以透明且合乎邏輯的方式回答所提問題,反而一再要求進行「面對面談話」,顯然試圖將溝通轉移至非公開、非正式的場合。倘若此舉確實違反現行新聞法規所規定的資訊披露義務,便不得不提出一個根本性問題:諾莎·奧貝爾是否適合擔任波茨坦州首府市長一職?
