Let's Bring Back the Fountains in Dresden!
- Activists push for restoration of fountain bubbles in Dresden, a city icon.
Hey there!
The Left Party is planning to throw an emergency proposal to the Dresden city council, aiming to get those iconic fountains flowing once again. You see, the current admin's holding back, suggesting they won't operate most fountains this year, citing financial reasons. But, the Left thinks otherwise, arguing that fountains and water games are a damn crucial part of Dresden's vibe, particularly during those scorching summer months.
"Imagine strolling through the city on a hot day, the sun beating down, and suddenly you come across a silent, dried-up fountain. Nothing says 'buzzkill' quite like that," the Left Party folks said, sounding pretty bummed out about it.
Left's Leader Slams the Mayor
Faction boss André Schollbach pointed the finger at Dresden's Mayor Dirk Hilbert (FDP), accusing him of spending a small fortune on fancy town hall parties every night for years. "Now we're telling you we can't afford to turn on the fountains? This wrong move to parch our beloved fountains needs to be fixed pronto, man!"
Hubbub around Dresden's opera house revealed that just eight facilities will be up and running this year, all due to budget cuts. The funds have been shifted to maintain urban playgrounds, that are in desperate need of TLC, and to care for the city's thirsty trees. With over 300 fountains and water games sprinkled across Dresden, 99 of which the council is responsible for, it's time we brought some life back to our urban landscape.
