Boletus is said to be the TOP 5 mayor. But no one knows who and how chose him
Hřiba praised, for example, the development of infrastructure, its diligence and the clear vision with which the capital of the Czech Republic leads. Hřib specified on Twitter that it was for the excavation of tunnels for metro D, record development of new tram lines (after 10 years of stagnation), record number of open P + R seats (1000+), completion of the Troja footbridge and start of construction of a new footbridge in Štvanice and for record investments in communications.
At that moment, the mayor was well treated in the comments under his post, the people of Prague reminded him of the summer impossibility of passing through Prague due to up to 80 deadlines at one time.
Instead of Transgas, there will be apartments on Vinohradská Street
Then some of them set out to find out what ranking the Mushroom boasted about. And ambiguities began to emerge.
For example, the project does not indicate how the mayors were selected, what criteria played a role and what selection methodology was used. When asked about the Mayors of Europe profile, curious people have not yet received an answer.
A document was also issued for Hřib’s award, in which the reasons for the placement are described. Document but bears in its properties the name We choose the most beautiful Advent in Croatia! – Cities that want to participate are invited to send us 5 photos of their Advent. “
I was chosen among the TOP 5 mayors of the EU. For smart solutions for the city, infrastructure development or the fight against climate change. Such an award will please you, not that you will not. I see it mainly as a motivation for further work and confirmation that we will go the right way. ? https://t.co/sVdUkmtqBT

According to the information available, the website is managed by the Center for Policy Analysis based in Zagreb. However, no past, no information or other projects on which she would work can be traced about the organization.
Our Mayors of Europe website states that the site “monitors, compares and promotes best practices, positive examples and experiences with local politics and closely monitors the work of mayors with a view to seeking and gathering first-hand information directly from mayors”. They are shared here only responses of three people. Judy of Dublin, Edgar of Berlin and Helena of Amsterdam. However, their photos are downloaded from the photo, where their pictures can be bought for several euros. For example, Edgar under the characteristic “man in the mountains, smiling”.
Prague has chosen trolleybuses. Will they travel to Central Bohemia one day?
In the end, everything seems like a product that is sure to come in handy for those who pay the web developers for it. However, Martina Vacková, Advisor to the Mayor of Hřiby, refused for the media. “Zdeněk Hřib was awarded by the renowned Politico website and the reasons for the award are in this report and are unquestionable. Prague and the Pirates have never paid for this platform, “she said.
However, the opposition is already preparing for the award and also whether the city paid anything for the promotion of the mayor, asking the nearest council.
