The South City would no longer have to be part of Prague. The mayor is planning a secession
The first weekly, E15, drew attention to the idea of the city district.
Mayor Štyler ‘s one – year experience as mayor of Prague 11 led to the idea of separating the city district from Prague.
“Sometimes I feel like a burgrave who was the administrator of the manor’s property and did only what the manor commanded or permitted,” said iDNES.cz Styler.
According to him, the demands of one’s own citizens cannot be actively addressed in the opera system.
“We cannot even decide where the residents will walk the dogs on a leash, we cannot regulate the decree on gambling or parking, which would be possible within the competence of the municipality,” added Štyler.
Former Mayor of Prague 11 Dalibor Mlejnský and other deputies did not know anything about it.
“Unfortunately, the deputies and coalition councilors only found out about it through the media. We were also surprised that the mayor of Štyler abolished the February council, where this topic would certainly deserve more discussion, “said Mlejnský.
According to the weekly, the capital city of Prague is still calm and intends to resolve a possible secession when it occurs.
However, the Patriots of the Czech Republic, for example, who ran in the local elections in 2014 and failed to oppose the idea of secession. They are also preparing a petition against the move. According to their chairman Jiří Vítek, this is only a populist gesture.
“If this really happened, the” municipality “of the South City of Prague would have to pay for all services such as public transport, energy, etc. Unlike Karlín, which wants to join Prague 7, this division has no real reason, except for media visibility, “Vítek said.
According to Vítek, by doing so, Prague 11 would fall under the Central Bohemian Region, and according to him, the mayor is nothing more than better at achieving a European subsidy.
