I ’ m not a career politician in contrast with some people . And I think that my place is here now . Time is running out fast . Sometimes you see results of your work the 3 rd or 4 th year of your term . Many things have improved . One cannot leave his work in progress . I want to work on things here 100 %, not also in the Ústí region . The work is hard but I like influencing things and improving them .
11 . How to save face in politics ?
I am persuaded I save my face . It ’ s very hard . You must be very distinctive , be sure of yourself and don ’ t change your mind quickly . Don ’ t get influenced and trust mainly yourself . Politics can be very tricky , you do not choose your colleagues , the citizens vote for them . And be a soloist a bit , it is sad but you can ’ t make deep friendships . However , I try to make a good team here for collaboration . Ona cannot do everything . I believe you must say the truth to people even if it is not popular . Don ’ t promise what you can ’ t keep and check information from various sources .
12 . Were you surprised of something when you got this post ?
Many people speak about doing the right things but after getting to politics and functions they are the same as the ones they had criticized . Unpleasantly I was surprised that many people want to do something for themselves from the town money . This is a big disappointment .
Next , I still have to persuade people , clerks . Speaking abilities are important . Some people do not study things in detail and are not prepared to support their arguments . I am tired , after work I do not feel like speaking .
Politics reflects people , it is a mixture of different characters , good ones , bad ones . The same would be with doctors , etc .
13 . Do you have some bad experiences with journalists and gossip ?
In our region there aren ’ t journalists that write about big causes . And there weren ’ t any attacks on my person . It is funny that some journalists write lies , typically on the Internet , without asking for information . They can be even vulgar .
I can be in a swimsuit in my garden , nobody cares and I do not care much . I do nothing bad , I do not lie and steal . I am natural .
14 . Do you have favourite food , color or place in Děčín ?
I love nature and being outdoors . I love the Elbe canyon or the kitschy view from the Shepherd ’ s Wall . I live on the Red Hill . I am into going for a walk , watching flowers in blossom . We have lovely views to the Děčín valley .
My favourite color is blue , I do not wear it much now , but almost every time I wear professional darker clothes , a suit . Privately I like bright female colours . I am not a fashion victim but have to dress up for work .
From meals , I love fruit , mainly apricots , Czech plums , and grapes a lot and typical Czech meals , gratin potatoes and pasta . My life does not twist around food . I cook dumplings but not love them .
