Bročku vystrieda na radnici v Trnave prvýkrát v dejinách žena. Toto sú jej prvé slová
Bročku vystrieda na radnici v Trnave prvýkrát v dejinách žena. Toto sú jej prvé slová
Trnava bude mať po prvý raz primátorku. V Malom Ríme zvíťazila so ziskom 60,47 % Eva Nemčovská, ktorá pôsobila doteraz ako zástupkyňa primátora Petra Bročku. Prečo nebude potrebovať prvých sto dní v úrade a je už rozhodnutá, kto bude jej pravou rukou?
