Wondering how high the interests of the Senate are that should be preserved in the gradual sale of Hochbahn and the port to the railway:
According to the report, the paper sets the goal of "pursuing the achievement of a majority in stages while safeguarding the interests of the Senate."
Well, apart from the "turbulences":
The negotiations between the Senate and the railway are still ongoing, accompanied by severe turbulences. Not only did the federal government speak out in favor of keeping the headquarters of the railway in Berlin. Also, the employees and numerous economic representatives recently positioned themselves against a change of the main seat of the railway from the Spree to the Elbe. However, this is exactly what Beust's plan envisages, in return for the participation of the railway in HHLA and Hochbahn. The HHLA employees fear the loss of around 300 jobs.
Hey, not only are the Berlin employees being sold, but also those of Hochbahn and the port. And all this for the relocation of the railway administration to HH - which is of course strategically important for the labor market. Screw the jobs in Berlin, as long as HH gets some. For that, we'll easily sell the others.
At the beginning, I still thought that with the right SPD in Hamburg, it couldn't get much worse with a Union Senate. I admit, that was an exaggerated optimism on my part. It keeps getting worse/stupider/incompetent.
