Karlsruhe (FW | FOR) – The faction of the free voters | FOR Karlsruhe asks the General Manager of the Badisches Staatstheater Peter Spuhler and the Chairperson of the Staff Council for talks.

“We would like to let both sides have their say, just as the sponsors are demanding,” says Petra Lorenz, city councilor in the culture committee, “the allegations are serious and urgently need to be examined, because who wants to work in a climate of fear?” . The parliamentary group explains that the allegations are not new either, “something seems to have come together over the years that is now being publicly discharged,” explains City Councilor Friedemann Kalmbach, “we see critically that the supporters of the State Theater speak of a campaign “. It is understood that you first want to hear everyone involved and protect the theater management first, but the measures now required must be implemented as quickly as possible. The parliamentary group welcomes the proposal to create a neutral body to record the allegations and to introduce a lawyer of trust. “In addition, as in the city administration, we also have to think about a regular, anonymous climate check at the state theater,” demands the parliamentary group leader Jürgen Wenzel in conclusion.
