So the Goethe Institut wants to close the Pyongyang reading room because no-one can visit it, but the CDU wants it to stay open. You’d think that the CDU, being conservatives and presumably opposed to wasting money, would approve of the decision. (And, since they’re in government, it’s not a case of the opposition opposing the government for opposition’s sake.)
