The presentation was horrendous. This was the first time that I had to meet the local politicians and talk about the project (in my quirky German). They rejected everything that the Aktionsteam was suggesting and already working on. Their general opinion about Hustadt was: “This is a place where non-civilised people are living and we cannot allow money to be spent on things that they will not be able to handle, such as a garden, a cinema, or a bowling place, or even tables and benches.” This is impossible!
