The city government cut down trees in my city to make way for some dumb public transport adjustment despite the neighborhood and experts agreeing that it is not necessary. They went ahead anyway and the neighbourhood protested. A huge police force showed up to intimidatie and abuse the protesters. Our local party leader for arrested and held in captivity for up to 8 hours for whatever bullshit they could come up with.

The government held a city hall meeting the other day and our party asked questions and wanted apologies. The city government just went: ‘this is the only way to get things done’.

Now, this is about some trees, but it’s concerning how the city sees intimidating and abusing residents as a way to get things done.
