Berlin plans mega refugee home: 157 million euros rent inflamed protest!

The incredible sums of taxpayers that Berlin's Senate transfers to real estate companies based in tax havens let the blood freeze in your veins! 157 million euros rent is to be paid for an empty office building in Berlin-Charlottenburg-and this while the city is suffering from savings constraints.

The Interior Ministry of Nancy Faeser recently touched another hot iron and put the controversial civil servants on hold for ministerial confidants, such as msn reported. One wonders whether the unpublished payments in Berlin should one day be swept under the carpet, while the city struggles with massive challenges and a huge debt.
