Fear of a new red factory? No, not at all

Mr. Leupi, the city receives the witness of the houses not in the building by the Canton, the cantonal Parliament says no to the Treaty. What is your first reaction?
I'm disappointed, especially for the population and industry in the area. It is not a good sign. We have negotiated with the Canton government a fair contract, we, too, concessions to be made. The cantonal Parliament has rejected him now-don't give a shit. It is an Affront to the population of this city is a part. Some of the members of the cantonal Parliament, you get the impression that you don't recognize the city population Canton population.

what were the arrangements between the city and the Canton, exactly?
The city should take the stuff houses for the next 50 years. The city would have invested money and a construction interest paid, of Canton, however, would have contributed 30 million for the renovation, because he has invested for decades is nothing more in the stuff in houses. The Canton has been discussed for the future use, there would have been no luxury but room for commercial and open spaces for the district.

the Parliament of The Canton had a fear of a new Red factory and occupiers. Can you understand that?
no, not at all. In common with councillor Markus Kägi-developed master plan is exactly, the stuff houses are to be used. Probably a basic mistrust of the city's population, but it is also part of the Canton and not on a different planet living is expressed here.

you Would set up the contract with the today's Knowledge in a different way?
no, for me there is no reason to accept poorer conditions. We had to go with the business in the Parliament, because the revenue would not have covered the cost. We would have spent annually a quarter of a million francs for it. It would not have been portable, for the maintenance and operation of a foreign property yet more money from tax revenues be put in the oven.

Will you negotiate with the Canton?
this is Possible – the Ball lies with the Canton. The city, however, won't take excessive money in the fingers and do everything yourself. We are not a Pestalozzi, the renovated cantonal real estate.

What is the meaning of the decision for the future of the stuff in houses?
of The current operation continues on a provisional basis. I hope we do not have to close other parts, because it is composed of building code reasons, too dangerous – the arms room is closed today.

the relationship between The bourgeois-dominated Canton and the left-dominated city is getting worse – the decision to stuff the house Area of the new peak. What does this mean for the city?
The city is looking always constructive and viable solutions for the population, the economy and the tax number. It is difficult when the contracts that we negotiate with the civil government, are bent by the bourgeois majority in Parliament. In such cases, there is not but every day, I would not generalize it. Are disappointed we are, this is so. But against measures we are not looking for, so we work.
