Subway disaster: cover-up or scout?



Cologne - The subway disaster have promised the leaders of the KVB and those responsible for the city a "full explanation".
After the recent scandal revelations raised in Cologne, the question: Are they reconnaissance or cover-up?
Also Baudezernent Bernd Streitberger (CDU) has come under criticism. Already since the 12th March, he knew that there had been six months before the collapse of the historical archive significant groundwater problems in the adjacent underground excavation.
Construction of talks was also a "hydraulic base failure" recorded in September. This water problem is the cause of the disaster of 3 März.Doch Streitberger silent in the meetings with his employer, Lord Mayor Fritz Schramma, and also in crisis.
Such a communication range may not happen in the administration of the fourth largest city in Germany. Streitberger said he had immediately informed the KVB board. The Baudezernent yesterday: "As the company it keeps up with the public, is primarily his cause."
Schramma is furious: "I have been to consider possible disciplinary action against Mr Streitberger in order." Responsibility for considering City Manager Guido Kahlen (SPD). Earlier in the week Schramma expects a result. "I think it is irresponsible and can not allow that such information be withheld," said Schramma.
The same goes for the two KVB chief Juergen Fenske (SPD) and Walter Reinarz (CDU). They, too, were silent. If they were not informed about their employees about the explosive events of September? If they are kept ignorant, this is not a good throw light on the conditions and responsibilities in the KVB.
If they became informed, the question arises whether they wollten.Spätestens conceal the truth from 12 March knew the KVB but bosses know. And said nothing. This Fenske had a few days previously promised more big change course of the KVB and größstmögliche transparency ".
As Reinarz have known for days by the controversial incidents had, he went before the press and said: "We do everything we can to clarify the causes for the collapse. We want to own everything that the public finds out. "
 Schramma itself has been responsible for the accident cursed himself. Now feels betrayed by the head of the municipal urban KVB daughter: "That can not be that I call enlightenment and the men sit for a week, alternating next to me and to conceal such incidents." There is also the KVB board asked.
