Main topics

transport

The traffic situation in Hradec has got considerably worse in recent years. Both public transport and the situation for people using their own vehicles. Public transport isn't very accessible on the outskirts of the city and is completely unable to serve the city during the night. Individual transport is being restricted. The government is turning Hradec into a traffic playground and, instead of car parks, dreaming up pointless projects for nobody. This madness needs to be stopped and changed.

public space

Lots of places in Hradec would deserve attention for renovation, or at least a light touch-up. There are lots of places here that could be put to great use for the benefit of people and for meeting up. Instead they stand empty, and the city would rather spend money on unnecessary projects. Isn't it better to save and improve what we already have?

culture

Hradec is on the verge of cultural death. The city only comes alive in the evenings when some event has been organised. It's sad, and there are surely ways to get people back onto the streets so that our beautiful city comes alive at least a little.

A few words about me

I'm a born-and-bred Hradec local. I'm 20 and I study political science and international relations at CEVRO Univerzita. I've been actively involved in politics since 2022. I started out as a graphic designer for Mladí Svobodní and as a helping hand during campaigns or when collecting signatures for petitions proposed by our party. I currently serve as regional vice-chair, and I'd like to move from party positions into public ones too. I believe our city needs a change of government. The current coalition, with slight variations, has been governing us for more than ten years. The changes the city is going through, especially in recent years, are worse than ever before, and it's time to restore order here and stop dreaming up unnecessary projects.
