After the
practically the failure of the sale of the Rhineland-Palatinate regional Hahn airport to a Chinese Investor, the CDU attacked the state government sharp. You have no confidence in the Actions of the SPD state boss Dreyer, said the CDU-group leader Julia Klöckner, at a special meeting of the Mainz state Parliament.

The share of 82.5 percent of the land at the regional airport was originally intended to be to the Chinese Investor Shanghai Yiqian Trading (SYT) sold. According to the Absence of an agreed-upon payment, the process was initially Stalled. In the meantime, the state government assumes that the sale is failed.

State government defends itself

Of the sales process in a competent Minister of the interior, Roger Lewentz (SPD) defended the actions of the state government. The government had acted “decisively,” the Minister said in the Parliament. It’s all to be done in order to open the airport “future opportunities”. The beginning of the privatisation process will continue.

Minister-President Dreyer fought in her speech against concealment allegations. The sale process was “clear and transparent”. The responsible committees are regularly informed. Now that it was clear, as Dreyer, “the fact that the tenderer had criminal intentions”, do not shift the responsibility to the in the process for the state government it and business consultancy KPMG. However, you shall speak “continues on this point and see what conclusions are to draw from this,” says Dreyer.

KPMG had said a week ago that the order had been to advise the country in the preparation and implementation of a tender procedure – an on-the-spot Verification of SYT but have not counted explicitly to the actual tasks. The auditors were also advised in the criticism.
