Bavarian government files show that Prime Minister Markus Söder and his state chancellery had long and urgently been warned of a debacle on the second main line of the Munich S-Bahn. It’s a drama in ten acts, about which Söder now has to testify in the state parliament.
The last witness is the most important witness. Next Thursday Markus Söder has a big appearance in the Bavarian state parliament. The Prime Minister has to explain to a committee of inquiry what he and his government headquarters, the State Chancellery, knew about the disaster at the Munich S-Bahn. The second main route, Bavaria’s largest construction project, will be completed several years later and several billion euros more expensive than originally announced. The U-Committee is trying to clarify how this could have happened and who is to blame. The government files document who was warned when and who did what to counteract the looming debacle. And who of all: who has not done anything for a long time. It is a drama in ten acts. With Söder in a leading role.
