HHN: Dark clouds again...

... ok, after the rants, maybe back to topic:
The new regional government of Rhineland-Palatinate (Socialdemocrats now in coalition with Greens), which as you know supports HHN with 11-15 million Euros each year (some 4-5 Euros per passenger) has decided today to ramp-down this support 'as fast as possible'. I wonder that this means for the future of FR at HHN. Though once people will tell them that it really has some 3000 jobs attached to it, they'll surely reconsider. The region isn't rich. The controversial big bridge above the Mosel river which will amongst other things connect HHN better to the North and West will however be built.
Another FR-related news-bit is that Kaunas city council is pushing for the Rail Baltica high-speed rail project (Berlin-Warsaw-Kaunas-Riga-Tallinn) to connect to the KUN terminal.
