As a city councilor, you can rightly get weak knees at the moment. With the budget for 2023, longer-term investments will also be approved in December, which will bring Munich five or six billion euros in debt by the end of the 2026 term of office. With that alone, the city would already reach the limits of solvency and a legally valid budget. Under these conditions, should the city council now take the risk on Wednesday of releasing more than half a billion euros for a building that it does not know for sure if it will ever be used? Even if you seem like a gambler: Yes, he should.
