Scandal in Odessa Botanical garden may disappear forever

Odessa, meanwhile, are going on Saturday to hold a mass protest.

In Odessa under the threat of destruction of the Botanical garden of the national University on the French Boulevard. Natural monument survived a half century, multiple wars, the revolution, but was powerless against the developer, which, according to the Odessa activists – connected business interests and the mayor Trukhanov. In a situation understood by our correspondents.

Cubic meter for cubic meter. The slope above the sea fading away. In the former lands of the sanatorium – growing fifteen-storey residential complex. Close to Botanical garden of the University of Mechnikov.

“Pistachio, the only one in Odessa. She, poor thing, got just less than a meter is now up to the fence. Unique tree”.

Here is footage taken three years ago. The fence is still on the same line as the fence of the Park. And here is how it looks today. The difference – in ten meters. Workers moved the fence and started to excavate. This has cut down the trees, though scientists are specially planted to strengthen the cliff. Now seriously fear of a landslide.

“Just, if there is a landslide process will start to take some action it will be very difficult it will be to threaten the Botanical garden,” said Anastasia, Golokoz, leading specialist of the Botanical garden of ONU named. I. Mechnikov.

In the city hall answer: have already collected the Commission. The rest of the week should determine: whether legally the Builder moved the fence.

“Accordingly, if there are violations, we will write to the Prosecutor, we will write and DBK Ukraine and so on and so forth: that is, we will take all measures possible”, – said Alexander Avdeev, acting head of the Department of architecture and construction control of the city Council .

Activists outraged: why officials did not stop the work, if still not found their legitimacy? According to the information of public men – the ultimate BENEFICIAR company that leads development – Vladimir Galanternik is one of the business partners of Gennady Trukhanov, mayor of Odessa. As a result, people take the initiative into their own hands and break the fence.

“Do not work! Organs damaged greatly. And who better than us?” says Damian ganol, social activist.

We tried to record a comment from the developer, but the journalists never came out. To build housing here traders do not have the right. So the document is not a construction, and the alleged reconstruction of the resort complex.

And it is conducted at the request of the society of invalids “Narodnaya Volya”, which consists of just eighteen. The latter is nothing strange in this scheme do not see.

“Maybe you can’t say, but the law that pole, and came back I believe, that something had disabled all is well”, – says Tatiana Sluchanska, member of public organization of invalids “Narodnaya Volya”

Odessa, meanwhile, are going on Saturday to hold a mass protest outside high-rise buildings and to remove all the unnecessary fences.
