Criticism of the City Outlet Pirna: Vogel threatens to cancel the project!
There is currently unrest in Pirna in connection with the “City Outlet Pirna”, a project that aims to bring brand manufacturers into the empty shops in the city center. Managing director Henryk Vogel was recently in the city council to talk about the challenges of the project and made it clear that he feels abandoned by the city and the city council. His short speaking time of just ten minutes wasn't particularly helpful, as no questions were allowed. Vogel criticized the disinterest shown by some city councilors and described their behavior as disrespectful and irresponsible. This has made the outlet makers feel like supplicants instead of being treated as equal partners. **Sächsische.de reports** that Vogel urgently insists on the city's support in accordance with a city council resolution and otherwise threatens to to abandon the project.
It didn't take long for politicians to react. The BSW city council group spoke out in a letter and criticized Vogel's statements. This dispute raises the question of support for local trade initiatives. Dialogue between the managing directors and the city councilors seems urgently required in order to improve cooperation.
