Construction workers Remove Huge Black Lives Matter letters near Witte Huis

The Democratic mayor of Washington, Muriel Bowser, yielded for the pressure of the Republicans. A conference member recently submitted a bill in which he threatened to stop the financing of the American capital if the letters were not removed and the square – ‘Black Lives Matter Plaza’ – would not be given any other name.

Bowser said a few days ago that Washington at the moment had greater worries than these kinds of fighting. The economic survival of the capital is currently the priority, she said. Washington is affected by, among other things, the massive staff in ministries and governments by the government of Donald Trump.

As part of the America 250 project, which celebrates the 250th anniversary of the United States, there are plans for new murals anyway, Bowser said. In a speech on the public radio broadcaster NPR, she said the square would be redeveloped. Trump also asked Bowser to remove various homeless camps in the city.

The mayor tries to prevent them from hunting Trump against her armor. Special rules apply to Washington. The American capital has a special status. For a long time the city was directly governed by the congress, since 1973 there has been limited self -government. However, the congress maintains control: all the laws adopted by the city council can be revised and withdrawn by the congress.
