New mayor of Brno-Centrum resigns due to a controversial contract

   "I feel responsible for this, but my conscience is clear. I am stepping down so that the situation at the town hall can calm down,” the mayor told MfD. She has not specified when she will resign from her position. On Monday, she only announced her plan at a meeting of the mother party ODS. It is also unclear who will replace Hrubá.
    The construction of the Wilson building is one of the most controversial planned projects in Brno. A part of the local residents has strongly opposed it. They criticized that the building would bring traffic into the quiet villa district and destroy the panorama of Míru Square, which is currently dominated by the church. Above all, they claim that the investor obtained the land from the city district in an opaque manner. After criticism, the city district retracted its decision to lease the land to the company Wilson Property for 15 years. However, the rental contracts signed by Hrubá remain in effect.
    Hrubá, who replaced Michal Bortel from ČSSD two months ago and had already led the city district before the last elections, sees the fault lying with the former leadership of the city of Brno. They were allegedly at the beginning of the contract with the Ministry.
