The group chief of the Greens, Anton Hofreiter, has warned the Federal government about to enter rail boss Richard Lutz the blame for the crisis in the largest state group. "My impression is that the government wants to deport their political responsibility for the rail crisis to the group and is now a scapegoat in the Management of addiction. I find that pretty pathetic, not to say shabby," said Hofreiter of the "Stuttgarter Zeitung".
In the case of a crisis, the railway chief Lutz and the Board of Directors must submit to meet for the second Time this week, transport Minister Andreas Scheuer their plans for the development of the state-owned company.
While more and more professionals are also in the DB-Board of management needed, says the former Chairman of the transport Committee in the Bundestag. The Problem is, but "first and foremost, the lack of rail expertise and a lack of willingness to act in the Ministry of transport".
The railway expert warns against hasty action, and unnecessary staff debates: "the next train-in-chief fails, if the competent Federal government has no Plan, little money and the wrong priorities."
The group with its 310.000 employees in need of a restart with efficient structures, so Hofreiter.
The green faction chief proposes two divisions of DB infrastructure DB Transport, both to the General welfare of the people be committed to, and in the long term, the state should remain: "There must be an end to the fragmentation of the car in more than 700 companies." Foreign stores like the British subsidiary Arriva should be used, sold, the money for the better rail transport in Germany.

Hofreiter evaluates it as "not a good sign" that DB Vice Ronald Pofalla, would seem to be the top crisis managers: "The CDU-man was head of the Chancellery under Chancellor Merkel is finally responsible for ensuring that the train was not allowed to set the huge loss of the object of Stuttgart 21, the tightened now the financial problems massively."
