Václav Havel - Disagreement over demolition plans
NEWS
DEMOLITION Former President Václav Havel has written an open letter to Culture Minister Jiří Besser protesting the demolition of a protected building on Prague's Wenceslaus Square, Radio Prague reported. Havel wrote that his fear of what he called the monster that is to be built there is even greater than his regret at the destruction of the building at No. 47. Proponents of the demolition say that continuous remodeling has left nothing of the original 19th-century structure and that the building is not a cultural monument. A nine-story office and commercial building is to be constructed in its place.
