The sale of the land in Hlubuchkovy Lysolaj cost Prague millions. It’s Dosimeter 2, says Marvanová
At the conference, together with Bohuslav Svoboda, you presented a case that you call Dosimeter 2. It is a suspicious and disadvantageous sale of land in the capital city of Prague that took place in 2017. Could you elaborate on this case and explain what it is actually about?
I would say in advance that the whole case did not start in 2017, when an alarming sale of valuable municipal land actually took place, but already in 2012. That was when Petr Hlubuček came as the mayor of the Prague – Lysolaje district, to this territory is a plot of land with an area of 55 thousand square meters located, with a request to entrust it to the municipal district. The basis for this request was the project that a home for the elderly and related civic amenities will be built on that plot of land.
That is where we must look for the beginning of the events that led to the fact that Prague was deprived of a highly valuable piece of land under completely unfavorable conditions in a very surprising way. My colleague Svoboda and I are presenting new findings about the case now, before the last council in its current composition, because it is necessary to save this case.
Before we get to what the council should address, let’s get back to rooting the whole case. So, ten years ago, Petr Hlubuček, then as mayor of Lysolaj, was always about entrusting the city land. How did it come to be sold at a disadvantage?
Already when Mr. Hlubuček asked the capital city to hand over the land, he introduced a strategic partner for the construction of the promised home for the elderly – the company AG Development, which belongs to the bpd partners group. Based on Lysolaj’s request in 2014, the land was indeed entrusted, but under very strict conditions – a home for the elderly must be built along with civic amenities and, above all, with the condition that the land must not be sold. In the event that the sale should take place, it must first be offered back to the capital. However, these conditions were never met.
