Running for Za Krnov s KDU
Unfortunately it's noticeable that cultural life, despite some efforts by the current leadership, is dying. That's why it's important to me that the leadership invests more in cultural institutions and is able to offer a diverse range of cultural activities for different cultural tastes and different generations. My dream would be for a city gallery to be created in one of Krnov's important buildings (Karnola, Hala Silesia) that could attract people from the wider area too.
Krnov is facing a big loss of young residents, the overwhelming majority of whom don't come back to Krnov after graduating from university. The problem is that there's a lack of highly qualified jobs here. I don't want Krnov to fade away like this, so it's important to me that the new town leadership is able to create conditions that will attract companies offering highly qualified work to the region. This task will also depend on the town leadership being able to communicate well with the region, so that the region doesn't forget about this part of its territory when investing, but develops it instead.
The environment is an important issue across the whole of Czechia; we need to better adapt our towns to the changing conditions caused by the climate crisis. That's why it's important to me to improve public space in many places in Krnov, where trees need to be planted and greenery restored, so that the town centre has a better environment, especially in summer during high temperatures. Here in Krnov the environment is an important issue also because of the 2024 floods; I want flood protection measures to be carried out in Krnov (the dam alone isn't enough), because that's the only way we can reduce the threat of a similar catastrophic situation.
I'm from Krnov, where I went to the local grammar school. Now I'm starting my second year at the MUNI law faculty, and on top of that I'm starting to study history at the arts faculty.
In Krnov I try to support local cultural life as much as I can; I like going to the concerts and exhibitions held here.
Every year I help organise a commemoration of the victims of communism, and I take part in meetings with the descendants of Krnov's Germans as part of the Czech-German Week, which is usually held in Krnov at the end of August. It's important to me not to forget the history Krnov has been through, whether it's the expulsion of the German population or the pre-war rescue of the synagogue, which is thus one of the few surviving synagogues in the Sudetenland.
I don't want to forget the history Krnov has, which in my view can attract many tourists, but at the same time the town hall needs a leadership that, after several years of treading water, will finally move Krnov forward so that it starts developing again.
