“In the Senate, I want to promote water and landscape protection, clean air, public health, the possibility of community energy and improving the welfare of farmed animals. Specifically, I would like to submit or propose proposals to maintain water in the landscape and in cities, better protection of drinking water sources and the implementation of effective nature-friendly measures against floods. I would like to focus on air protection and mitigating the effects of pollution on human health. I am going to propose support for the development of community energy, which will enable people to reduce energy costs and dependence on suppliers. “ Balcar outlined several of her priorities.
The woman also focused on the EU’s environmental agenda, which the Czechia can move in environmental protection – whether it is climate goals or improving the conditions for the transport of live animals. He wants to continue this work in the Senate.
“Even from the opposition, I tried not to sweep under the rug the case of the Turów coal mine, to solve the ecological accident in Bečva or to prevent the senseless megalomaniac project of the Danube-Odra-Elbe canal. And I am ready to open and move important environmental cases in the Senate as well. including those that burn the citizens of my constituency, whether it is the negative impact of traffic and new construction, the smell of production, or the state of the agricultural landscape of suburban areas, and more, “ added the candidate for senator.
“I am convinced that the position of senator is exactly the place where I can contribute to the interconnection of environmental, social and issues and defend the possibility of citizens to participate in co-decision on the use of land in their vicinity. The big advantage is that I can rely on the experience of the Chamber of Deputies and build on my work so far. “ described by Dana Balcarová.
“Prague 6 is one of the greenest parts of Prague and the environment is an important topic in our country. We are dealing with the expansion of the airport, the reduction of greenery at the Džbán swimming pool, the council has declared a state of climate threat. Therefore, even in terms of local issues, Dana is an ideal Senate candidate and I firmly believe that she will sit in the Senate and will be our support, “ added the pirate leader to the municipal elections in Prague 6 Ondřej Vykoukal.
