Udženija on Hřibov’s “award”: He knows nothing, it is a disgrace for Prague! How much did it cost us?
“Such an award will please a person, I would lie if I said no. I see it mainly as a motivation for further work and confirmation that we will go the right way, “ wrote Zdeněk Hřib on the social network, which the organization Mayors of Europe has chosen among the top 5 mayors in the European Union.
At first glance, however, the organization based in Croatia seems like a cheap project. For example, the company has photos downloaded from a photo bank that publishes pictures of real people on its website.
It is also strange that it is not possible to read from the official website who works for the company. There is only a Croatian address in the contacts. Vanja Sertić is supposed to be the founder of the platform.
It is no wonder that there was immediate speculation on social networks that Hřib’s “award” was custom-made PR.
For example, marketing expert Martin Jaroš outlined in one of the discussions on Facebook that, according to his estimates, this “fun” could cost the municipality up to 10 thousand dollars (214 thousand crowns)!
“It would be interesting to know how much the magso paid for this award. These obscure prizes are usually offered to us for a $ 10,000 fee, and a prize in the appropriate category is guaranteed. I’ve always thought that only really desperate companies or desperate politicians can go to these awards, and I see I was right. “ Jaroš writes in the discussion.
The project, which honored Zdeněk Hřiba, was originally dedicated to Advent in a Croatian village, as can be seen from the metadata of the website.
Some Prague politicians are already noticing the cases. For example, the head of the Prague cell of the YES movement, Ondřej Prokop, told Expres that he would ask the management how much the “fun” cost.
“My colleagues and I will ask the council if Prague or any of its organizations have sent money to taxpayers in this Croatian PR organization.” Prokop wrote to us in an SMS message.
Udženija: The mushroom is a disgrace for Prague, he really exaggerated this!
The Expres.cz editorial staff also contacted the representative of the capital and, recently, the mayor of Prague 2, Alexandr Udženija, whom Hřiba has been criticizing for a long time.
“Digitization and transparency is the spell of all Pirates and this is what it looks like in practice. Clinking dubious vote in a non-existent poll. I have been criticizing Mayor Hřiby for a long time for not doing anything and not doing anything cool for Prague. All he can do is take pictures on the social network. But he really exaggerated this time, “ responded for Expres.cz Udženija.
“It is appropriate to ask how much it cost Praguers and it paid off. I’m thinking of an ICT operator or another company where Pirates are soaking up. Mayor Hřib is a disgrace for Prague, ” added the mayor of Prague 2.
Since Saturday evening, he has faced mayors from Prague citizens and journalists. Zdeněk Hřib, who otherwise communicates with people very actively on social networks, but is still silent.
