Criticism of the new luxury service car: District Administrator in the line of fire!

in Weimarer Land is bubbling! District Administrator Christiane Schmidt-Rose's new company car (CDU) causes massive criticism. Instead of driving modestly in an Audi A6, she chose the luxurious Audi Q8 with over 200 hp. A truly pompous change that heats the minds!

The SPD foams with anger and speaks of a blatant lack of political instinct. Max Reschke from the Greens can only shake his head. In times when every household complains about rising costs, this "prestige object" appears to be completely inappropriate. The citizens wonder: where is the modesty?

criticism from all sides

Dirk Geyer from the AfD/BI is horrified by the decision. Despite favorable leasing rates, the maintenance and operating costs of such a SUV are enormous. In view of the tense financial situation of the district and an upcoming increase in the circular levy to 49 percent, the new company car has a decadent effect. Last year, the levies that the municipalities have to pay increased to finance the schools.

Schmidt-Rose reacts with insight. She admits that the decision to choose the SUV as a company car was perhaps not the smartest. But the car was ordered in December 2023 when it had to deal with health problems and stood before orthopedic operations. A weak consolation for the angry public, who wants more responsibility from her political representatives.
