Who does public space belong to?
Who should decide how public property is used, and what happens to it?
It is precisely here that the use of power as a tool of discipline begins, and public property starts to lose its public character.
Freedom to act is rarely lost through a single decision or moment.
When a controversy arises, the first reaction is not always to build a process and assume public responsibility. It is an intervention.
It is precisely for cases like this that rules and accountability mechanisms exist.
