Who does the public realm belong to?
Who should decide how public property is used, and for what purpose?
It is precisely here that power begins to be used as a tool of discipline, and public property starts to lose its public character.
Freedom of action is rarely lost in a single decision or moment.
When a controversy arises, the first reaction is not always to establish a procedure and take responsibility. It is to intervene.
It is precisely for cases like this that rules and accountability mechanisms exist.
