Politik: Kaputtgart das Versagen der Regierung und Firmenmanager zerstört Existenzen und Stadt #

Self-praise and arrogance come before a fall // Porsche is breaking apart // Stuttgart has tampons in the men's restrooms for that # British McLaren manager Michael Leiters is now supposed to save Porsche; no more trust in German managers? The most important positions of the Stuttgart Green Party at the municipal level can be summarized as follows: Climate and Environment: Climate neutrality for the city, more urban green spaces, green roofs and facades, protection of nature and biodiversity, and expansion of renewable energies. Transportation: Expansion of public transport, better cycle paths, more space for pedestrians, and a reduction in car traffic in parts of the city. Housing: More affordable housing, social housing, densification in suitable locations, and age-appropriate housing options. Economy: Promotion of innovation, digitalization, regional economies, and a climate-friendly transformation of companies. Society: Equal opportunities, integration, inclusion, support for culture and sports, and measures against poverty and loneliness. Administration: Modernization and digitalization of the city administration to make processes faster and more citizen-friendly. The Green Party currently holds 14 seats on the Stuttgart City Council and is one of the larger factions. At the heart of the matter is Porsche's big gamble on electric vehicles. The Taycan was meant to prove that Porsche could retain its soul even in an electric vehicle. But after the initial hype, sales plummeted, residual values ​​collapsed, and many early buyers paid the price for a strategy that was implemented too early, too aggressively, and without a real safety net. At the same time, China, once Porsche's golden growth market, suddenly became a problem: Domestic brands like BYD, NIO, Xpeng, and Zeekr deliver technology, software, and performance at prices that German prestige logos can no longer automatically compete against. Even worse: The model range developed gaps. The Boxster and Cayman are disappearing, and their electric successors are being delayed. The combustion-engine Macan was discontinued in Europe, even though customers still wanted it. Battery plans were scaled back. Billions were written off. And Porsche had to quietly admit that the future was not coming as quickly, as profitably, or as electrically as it had promised investors and customers.
