Politics of bilocation means back and forth between Bonn and Berlin
2016
Overview
The Berlin-Bonn agreement has failed to prevent a \"Berlin drift\" gathering pace in recent years. Instead of the promised 50:50 split of the federal government's ministries and 25,000 staff, about two-thirds of civil servants are now based in Berlin with about one-third in Bonn. For Germany's Taxpayer's Federation (BdS), a lobby group that watches government spending, the bilocation is an \"expensive luxury\" that should be ended. \"Government work needs one location and that is Berlin,\" said Reiner Holznagel, BdS president. MPs from the old capital region, with an eye on their constituents, beg to differ. Norbert Rttgen, an ally of chancellor Angela Merkel and MP for Knigswinter, near [Bonn], says the bilocation arrangement has worked but will eventually fail if the \"Berlin drift\" isn't halted.
