Autobahn construction: The minister’s road dispute is Grotestk

Debate is good and important. Especially when it comes to money. Because it is all of our money, sometimes loan. However, the political spectacle, which CDU transport minister Patrick Schnieder and SPD finance minister Lars Klingbeil is currently performing, is just one thing: grotesque.

The traffic department noticed these days that it has not planned around 15 billion euros too little for motorway construction in the next four years. After the recent budget consultations were completed. It is not known how many of the approximately 1200 employees of the ministry have a commercial training, even economic studies.

In any case, construction stops have now been imposed. For example, for the harbor crossing in Hamburg, which has been planned for decades-certainly one of the rather important infrastructure projects in Germany.

Wasn’t there? Yeah right! The finance minister has a special fund of 500 billion euros for this. Minus per hundred for the climate and the federal states. At least 300 billion remain. So where is the problem? Minister Lars Klingbeil demands from the “dear colleague”, meant by Transport Minister Patrick Schnieder, clarification of his additional need for money – and on the status of a draft law on the debureaucratization of procedures. By letter, publicly stuck.

If it were not about the future viability of the Federal Republic, it would be the finest satire.

Yes, everything has to have its order. And be straightforward. No question. But, dear Men’s Federal Minister, as a reminder: normal people can no longer be conveyed. Is the money for infrastructure now or not? If so, just do it, de -bureaucratis the way to deal with each other. And spare the political stage with cabaret insoles.

Clarify the program before entering the theater. This helps with the audience. Nobody finds the recent offered. And more and more are moving towards supposed emergency exits.
