Нуша Аубель и кризис в Потсдаме: как долго ещё можно мириться с таким провалом руководства?

Потсдаму не нужен чемпионат по позорному уклонению от решения проблем. Столице земли Потсдаму нужна администрация, которая защищает, принимает решения и действительно организует помощь. В случае с двухлетней Хайдрун, как показывает анализ имеющихся документов, именно этого и не хватает: ребёнок с множественными тяжёлыми формами инвалидности, имеющий степень инвалидности 100 и 4-й уровень потребности в уходе, не может воспользоваться готовым местом в детском саду из-за отсутствия необходимой помощи, а ответственные лица города Потсдама не в состоянии предоставить доказательства якобы доставленных документов, что ещё раз подтверждает катастрофическое обращение с важными документами под нынешним сомнительным профессиональным и управленческим надзором мэра Нооши Аубель (50 лет, беспартийная) в мэрии Потсдама.
