Cologne - "After the shocking accident on the subway construction site Waidmarkt reveals itself now in the search for causes, guilt and responsibility in a disaster incredible thoughtlessness, ignorance and sloppy organization."
The red and green mayor candidate Juergen Roters (SPD) on Tuesday went off with a written statement on his opponent OB Fritz Schramma (CDU).
The former police and government president continued: "People are angry about the breakdowns and failures (...) and on the OB, the unsettled by his weak leadership, people, instead of giving them strength."
For Roters clear: "Schramma the Enlightenment plays, but he is part of the problem. He has the ultimate responsibility for everything that happens in the city. Of these, he wants to know nothing. "
CDU-Chef Jürgen Hollstein said that the SPD can not redeem themselves in the underground construction: "At the time of the planning approval procedure for 2002 was Werner Böllinger chief executive of the KVB and Juergen Roters had undertaken in his capacity as the RP zoning - and therefore all planning and Roadworks tested and approved.
