Taxes! Paperwork! Bureaucracy!
Society, as we know it, functions with some semblance of structure. In the case of Maastricht, and most cities, the municipality is in charge of negotiating and managing the lives of its civilians. Usually this is fine, but sometimes bureaucratic mistakes incur real human consequence.
This broadcast, we spoke to Helena, a small business owner. Her gelato shop, Gelateria Candiero was forced into closure after a long-winded, confusing, and frustrating stint with municipal bureaucracy. We discuss her story and its implications on bureaucratic systems.
