Well....it's not openly discussed much. Focus had around forty lines of discussion about it.
What is on the planning board is a building 'attachment' that will make it the largest Presidential or leadership building in the world....amounting to an original cost factor of 600-million Euro.
The appearance? The present Chancellor building would be used to 'anchor' the new construction....which appears to be a horseshoe-shaped building being added.
The present building is on the east side of the Spree River in Berlin....about a 1,000 ft from the Reichstag building. For reference, it's about a 1,000 ft south of the Berlin train station.
So this 600-million Euro number....have they gone past it? Oh yeah....in a way that they aren't even clear if it's still under 1-billion Euro.
The adding of a 'tunnel' from the old building to the new building? Yeah, for some odd reason....there had to be a tunnel involved, and it begs a lot of questions. Why not just build a above-ground walkway of 200 ft? Unknown. Just makes me wonder if there is some secret bunker design in the middle of this.
Criticism mounting? That's another part of the story. Just on the grounds-landscape business....about 10-million is going to be spent on new trees/shrubs.
All of this done in a period of recession and woes about natural gas? Yeah.
Scholz's fault? I don't think so.....a lot of this planning was done five years ago in the Merkel era, and it begs questions who within the government structure designed this, and if there's some scandal business just waiting to be discovered.
Anyway.....it's just another point for people to get hyped-up about.
