Rats in Wrocław multiply exponentially. Rodents try to get food, they go to people, cellars and apartments. They are very dangerous because they contain a lot of bacteria, viruses and fungi that can pose a threat to human health and life. I think the Wrocław authorities took no notice.
This has been going on for many months. The plague of rats plagues the capital of Lower Silesia, rats have hatched in basements, come out of sewers, try to enter houses, toilets, cars, they have taken over garbage cans. It’s even on the street. They are said to have a mating season, although – as experts say – they breed all year round. This problem has plagued the city for years. But from time to time the current plague occurs. President Jacek Sutryk, backed by the Civic Coalition, has responded nervously rather than methodically to the issue. The image promoted on social networks, which has already collapsed on his head once in a row.
He had made a fatal mistake. At the beginning of the year, the city decided that the collection of bulky waste would take place twice a year, at the same time as the disposal price would be increased. Previously, containers with such waste left at least once every two months or more often. Savings were sought, which were not found and where they could not be found. And although rats appeared last year, a stupid and irresponsible decision was pushed through. The increased amount of garbage clogged the garbage cans and rodents nested in them.
As reported by “Gazeta Wrocławska”, during one of the meetings with the residents of Wrocław, Mayor Jacek Sutryk blamed the residents for this and no other turn of events. They were charged with lying around, throwing leftover food on the lawns and keeping rubbish and even pots or potatoes in the cellars. That is, they themselves provide food for rodents. There’s probably a point to that, but don’t people have a right to keep potatoes in their cellars?
The truth is that it is up to the municipality whether the deratization and all necessary measures for the safety and health of the residents are carried out effectively, systematically and to the end.. Rats carry dangerous diseases, including typhoid. And this is already a serious accusation for a president who cares so much about his reputation and image.
Because the problem of this city is Sutryk – an arrogant Trzaskowski type. As one of the left wing columnists accurately described him as a “Facebook satrap”. If he can’t deal with the rodents, he’ll end up like King Popiel.
