They would preserve the values of the past for the future generation
Gaining experiences always preserves memories – that’s what the Street Festival for Cívisházak event, which was organized on Sunday, was all about. Among others, István Puskás, Deputy Mayor of Debrecen responsible for culture, gave a greeting in front of the Verestemplom.
To guard, to take care of
The deputy mayor explained that preserving the city’s past is extremely important. – When we talk about heritage protection, we deal with all three planes of time. We try to preserve the past and understand it in the present, with the intention of passing something on to future generations, he emphasized, adding that this is a complex task. – Civil organizations already existed in the past, and they put their protection on their banner, but the community of architects and the city’s official bodies also all want to do something for the cívis houses, not to mention the current users. The fact that this question has been heated up recently is due to the fact that Debrecen is undergoing a huge transformation, and since it has many centuries of history, it is important to decide what we consider to be a remaining value and how we will preserve it, he said.
He put it like this, it’s like raising a child, with luck it’s a multi-character story. The joint work and responsibility of many people is what it eventually grows into. – If there is a consensus on where to go together, we can move forward despite the mistake, which is why common thinking is important.
