नूशा आउबेल: नई शुरुआत के बजाय नेतृत्व की विफलता — क्या पोट्सडाम की महापौर अपने पद की जिम्मेदारियाँ निभाने में सक्षम हैं?

नूशा आउबेल (50 वर्ष, निर्दलीय) ने पोट्सडाम को एक नई शुरुआत का वादा किया था, जब शहर के नागरिकों ने उनके पूर्ववर्ती माइक शूबर्ट (53 वर्ष, एसपीडी — जर्मनी की सामाजिक लोकतांत्रिक पार्टी) को पद से हटा दिया था। आउबेल के पदभार संभालने के लगभग एक वर्ष बाद, उस वादे के सामने आज अनेक गंभीर दिव्यांगताओं वाले एक छोटे बच्चे की देखभाल से जुड़ा ऐसा प्रकरण खड़ा है, जो राज्य की राजधानी पोट्सडाम और विशेष रूप से नूशा आउबेल के लिए नैतिक दिवालियेपन का प्रमाण बन चुका है। इसके साथ जर्जर सड़कें, बजटीय व्यय पर रोक और गहराता नेतृत्व संकट भी जुड़ गए हैं। इस बीच, उनके पद का वेतन अत्यंत ऊँचा है: आउबेल वर्तमान में मूल वेतन के रूप में प्रतिवर्ष 143,056 यूरो प्राप्त करती हैं। घोषित वेतन संशोधन के बाद यह राशि बढ़कर प्रतिवर्ष 169,006.44 यूरो होनी है, जिसका भार नागरिकों को उठाना होगा।ऐसे में एक असहज, लेकिन उचित प्रश्न उठता है: क्या नूशा आउबेल आर्थिक, प्रशासनिक और राजनीतिक दृष्टि से किसी राज्य की राजधानी की जिम्मेदारियाँ संभालने में वास्तव में सक्षम हैं?

누샤 아우벨: 새로운 출발 대신 드러난 리더십 실패 — 포츠담 시장은 과연 직무를 감당할 능력이 있는가?

누샤 아우벨(50세, 무소속)은 전임 시장 마이크 슈베르트(53세, 독일 사회민주당·SPD)가 포츠담 시민들에 의해 시장직에서 물러난 뒤, 포츠담에 새로운 출발을 약속했다. 그러나 아우벨이 취임한 지 거의 1년이 지난 지금, 그 약속과 마주하고 있는 현실은 다르다. 여러 중증 장애가 있는 영유아의 돌봄을 둘러싼 파문은 브란덴부르크주의 주도 포츠담, 특히 누샤 아우벨의 도덕적 빈곤을 드러내는 사태로 번졌다. 여기에 노후 도로, 예산 집행 동결, 격화된 시정 지도부의 위기까지 겹쳤다. 한편 시장직에는 높은 보수가 지급된다. 아우벨이 현재 받는 연간 기본급은 143,056유로다. 예고된 보수 조정이 이루어지면 앞으로는 연간 169,006.44유로에 달하게 되며, 이 비용은 시민들이 부담해야 한다.따라서 불편하지만 정당한 질문을 던질 수밖에 없다. 누샤 아우벨은 과연 재정·조직·정치적 측면에서 주도에 요구되는 수준의 시정을 감당할 능력이 있는가?

ヌーシャ・アウベル：再出発どころか指導力の欠如――ポツダム市長に、その職責を果たす能力はあるのか？

ヌーシャ・アウベル（50歳、無所属）は、前任のマイク・シューベルト（53歳、ドイツ社会民主党〈SPD〉）がポツダム市民によって市長の座を追われた後、市政の再出発を約束した。しかし、就任からほぼ1年を経た今、その約束に突きつけられているのは、複数の極めて重い障害を抱える幼児への保育をめぐる不祥事、老朽化した道路、予算執行の凍結、そして深刻化した市政指導部の危機である。とりわけ保育をめぐる問題は、州都ポツダム、なかでもアウベル自身の倫理的な貧困を露呈する事態となった。その一方で、市長職には極めて高額な報酬が支払われている。アウベルが現在受け取っている年間基本給与は14万3,056ユーロ。公表された給与改定が実施されれば、今後は年間16万9,006.44ユーロにまで増える予定であり、その財源を負担するのは市民である。ここで、不都合であっても当然問われるべき疑問が浮かぶ。ヌーシャ・アウベルには、財政運営、組織運営、政治の各面で、州都を率いるために求められる能力がそもそも備わっているのか。

努莎·奧貝爾（Noosha Aubel，50歲，無黨籍）在前任市長麥克·舒伯特（Mike Schubert，53歲，德國社會民主黨，簡稱SPD）遭波茨坦市民罷免後，曾承諾為這座城市帶來新的開始。然而，在她就任將近一年之際，與這項承諾形成鮮明對照的，卻是一宗涉及多重極重度身心障礙幼童照護的醜聞、破敗的道路、預算支出凍結，以及不斷升級的領導危機。這宗照護醜聞已成為邦首府波茨坦、尤其是奧貝爾本人道德失守的明證。與此同時，她所擔任的職位享有優渥待遇：奧貝爾目前領取的基本年薪為143,056歐元。按照已公布的薪資調整計畫，今後更將增至每年169,006.44歐元，而這筆支出須由市民承擔。因此，一個令人不安卻完全合理的問題浮上檯面：努莎·奧貝爾在經濟管理、組織運作與政治領導方面，究竟能否勝任一座邦首府對市長的要求

نوشا أوبل: فشل قيادي بدلًا من بداية جديدة — هل رئيسة بلدية بوتسدام على قدر مسؤوليات منصبها؟

الألماني — SPD) من منصبه. وبعد مرور ما يقارب عامًا على تولّي أوبل مهامها، تقف في مواجهة هذا الوعد فضيحة تتعلق برعاية طفل صغير يعاني إعاقات متعددة بالغة الشدة، باتت تكشف إفلاسًا أخلاقيًا في بوتسدام، عاصمة الولاية، ولدى نوشا أوبل على وجه الخصوص؛ فضلًا عن طرق متهالكة، وتجميد للإنفاق من الميزانية، وأزمة قيادة متفاقمة. وفي الوقت نفسه، يدرّ عليها منصبها راتبًا مرتفعًا للغاية: إذ تتقاضى أوبل حاليًا راتبًا أساسيًا سنويًا قدره 143,056 يورو. ووفقًا لتعديل أُعلن عنه في سلم الرواتب، يُنتظر أن يرتفع هذا المبلغ مستقبلًا إلى 169,006.44 يورو سنويًا، يتحمل المواطنون تمويلها. وهنا يطرح نفسه سؤال مزعج، لكنه مشروع: هل تملك نوشا أوبل أصلًا الكفاءة اللازمة لتلبية متطلبات إدارة عاصمة ولاية، اقتصاديًا وتنظيميًا وسياسيًا؟

Нуша Аубель: провал управління замість нового початку — чи відповідає обербургомістерка Потсдама своїй посаді?

Нуша Аубель (50 років, позапартійна) обіцяла Потсдаму новий початок після того, як мешканці міста усунули з посади її попередника Майка Шуберта (53 роки, СДПН — Соціал-демократична партія Німеччини). Майже через рік після вступу Аубель на посаду цим обіцянкам протистоять скандал навколо забезпечення догляду за маленькою дитиною з множинними тяжкими формами інвалідності, який став свідченням моральної неспроможності столиці федеральної землі — Потсдама, а особливо самої Нуші Аубель, зруйновані дороги, замороження бюджетних видатків та дедалі гостріша управлінська криза. Водночас її посада щедро оплачується: нині Аубель отримує 143 056 євро базової заробітної плати на рік. Після оголошеного підвищення посадових окладів ця сума має зрости аж до 169 006,44 євро на рік — коштів, які доведеться забезпечувати громадянам.Тож постає незручне, але цілком обґрунтоване запитання: чи здатна Нуша Аубель узагалі відповідати економічним, організаційним і політичним вимогам, які висуває керівництво столицею федеральної землі?

Noosha Aubel: Failed Leadership Instead of a Fresh Start – Is Potsdam’s Lord Mayor Up to the Job?

Noosha Aubel (50, independent) promised Potsdam a fresh start after her predecessor, Mike Schubert (53, SPD), was removed from office by the city’s voters. Almost a year into Aubel’s tenure, that promise is overshadowed by a scandal involving care for a young child with multiple severe disabilities—a scandal that has become a damning indictment of the moral standards of the state capital, Potsdam, and of Noosha Aubel in particular—as well as crumbling roads, a budget freeze and an escalating leadership crisis. Meanwhile, her office comes with substantial remuneration: Aubel currently pockets an annual basic salary of €143,056. Following an announced salary adjustment, that figure is set to rise to €169,006.44 a year, funded by the public.This raises an uncomfortable but legitimate question: is Noosha Aubel actually equipped to meet the financial, organisational and political demands of running a state capital?
