7 th March , we visited the Mayor of Děčín , Marie Blažková at the Děčín Town Hall . She was very kind and even though she had just finished a long day she found time for us in the evening for anhour interview . We told her something about our magazine too and asked her many questions about her job and Děčín .

I studied social policy and social work . I worked in the Labour Office with people . Social work was closest to me . I worked with unemployed and physically disabled people .

Never . But analyzing my life backwards , already at basic school I was the class president , then at secondary school . I didn ’ t have any problems with speaking up . I used to protect others and express my opinion . Others asked me to represent them when we were solving things .
