Khan, let that heli stand

There are some super-de-luxe passenger cars in between, like four armored Mercedes that have to pay 1.7 million each, but also two 32-year-old Toyota Corollas. The total proceeds from the auction should amount to 13.7 million euros.

Criticasters see the auction as symbolic and not as an incentive to more structural austerity measures. The prime minister said in response that the auction is primarily intended as an incentive for the government to think differently.

But first start with that yourself, the critics say to Khan. They point out that the prime minister takes the helicopter to work almost every day.
