Chemnitz before upheaval: City council discusses the resolution of the CTM!

In the center of Chemnitz, turbulent times are for Tourismus- und Marketing GmbH (CTM). Mayor Sven Schulze proposed the city council to end this path and to initiate a liquidation process. The reasons are alarming: the city struggles with a tense budget and tries to reduce double structures. Schulze emphasized that the continuation of CTM does not seem sensible under the current conditions, and added that at least the tourist tasks could possibly be transferred to existing organizations. The decision on the dissolution is to be made in the important city council meeting today, as well as chemnitz.de reports.

allegations and concerns

The situation has already led to an outcry at the CTM works council, which describes the resolution as a faulty and questionable approach. Works council chairman Katrin Bothe said in a statement that society has made valuable contributions to the tourist development of Chemnitz ’in recent years. The idea that there is no expertise is simply wrong. In addition, it remains unclear which savings should actually be achieved by the liquidation, as the employee representative notes notes. There are constant voices that require the further employment of the 14 employees, such as the DIE LINKE parliamentary group in the Chemnitz City Council, which brought in an amendment to emphasize this request. In the context of the turbulent developments and the impending resolution, the next steps seem to be critical, since the city council has to make a decision in the afternoon, as well as mdr.de reported.
