Pirate pruning to Prague has beautiful support for various hooray associations full of activism, but real communal politics seems to be dill. Unconceptually stuck traffic, as if all the battles Prague had ever experienced were being reconstructed in Prague. And into all at once. But Oldřich Fischer also notices other problems that the pirate mayor Hřib brought to Prague.
“In Prague, Vysočany, between the U elektry and Nademlejnská tram stations, an entire alley of large mature trees was cut down,” informs Oldřich Fischer, continuing: An asphalt pavement, about a meter wide, was right next to it. Then the wall with the extension fence delimiting the Tesla Hloubětín complex. They smashed everything.
First, they mowed a lawn with pine trees in front of the Tesla complex. Then the whole alley. Did a friend need a pile of cubic meters of wood for a spout? This was directly an event at which, in my opinion, a competitive procedure had to be announced. I haven’t heard of any. How much did the pile of wood sell for?
It doesn’t bother me why they demolished the huge Tesla building. After all, there were at least fifty business cards of various companies outside. In addition, it was the dominant feature of the entire neighborhood. Kachlíčková. No fallen tiles. Giant building in great condition. I would compare its demolition to the demolition of the Prague Castle Cathedral, or the demolition of churches in Vyšehrad. This could only be allowed by an infinitely bribe clerk or someone with the intelligence capacity of perhaps Láčkovce. Or a lawyer.
People from the whole area from Nademlejnská Street and Kejřův Park used to go shopping on the asphalt path next to the alley. It was like a poppy to people. Build the blocks head on, no matter what is destroyed. Eliminate the entire alley in the built-up area, it can never convert the planting of trees in the fields on the outskirts of the city. In addition to plant trees (forest) on farmland can, sorry to me, just beef. In addition, the city is losing profit from such a field, “Oldřich Fischer issued a bill to Mayor Hřib.
It’s just as fascinating. They go into politics with enthusiasm, with ideals, with the hope of better times, which we will remember as a period of the best prosperity. And then it turns out as always. The forest is being cut down, the splinters are flying, and somewhere in between, an ordinary person who just wants to be calm is zigzagging in front of the patrons of politicians. But it doesn’t, because politicians’ ideals and dreams of a beautiful time turn into reality, where things just happen that one wonders from morning to night. We will be transparent, we will listen, we will solve problems, not located. And then there’s reality. Equally fascinating is how easy it is to cut down. Both the trees and the spirit of the city. Dear Mr. Hřib, you have not succeeded in your engagement at the City of Prague. At least from the point of view of the citizens who have to put down your policy here today and every day. From your point of view, it was definitely one success after another. No, he was not. |
