The “pushing through of this project through a subsidiary” and the financing through loans are specifically criticized.
In addition, Dresden “has not yet shown convincingly that this building is needed.”
Furthermore, the petition initiated by Uwe Steimle (57) to stop the construction of the town hall is supported. More than 10,000 citizens have now signed, so the petition should be discussed in the council.
The success of both initiatives is questionable. From the town hall’s point of view, the new building cannot be stopped, the council would have already given its OK in December 2020.
The SPD criticized the letter as “populist meddling in local politics”.
