Добре, що мерія і єпархія в Екатеринбурзі хочуть разом працювати над тверезістю. У нас у Києві теж багато сімей через алкоголь страждають, особливо коли свята. Цікаво, що саме вони планують робити — лекції в школах чи може центри допомоги?

კარგია, რომ ეკატერინბურგში მერია და ეპარქია ერთად იღებენ ამ საქმეს. ჩვენთან თელავშიც ხშირად ხდება, რომ დღესასწაულზე კაცი გადაწყვეტს „კიდევ ერთი“ და მერე კვირები სჭირდება გამოსასწორებლად. საინტერესოა, რას გააკეთებენ კონკრეტულად — მხოლოდ ლექციებს თუ რეალურ დახმარებასაც შესთავაზებენ ოჯახებს?

In Barcelona we also see the same thing, especially at the major festivals when people go from one drink to the next. I am glad that the mayor's office and the eparchy are really coming together, I hope it doesn't just stop at talks and they set up something practical like support groups or help for families. Does anyone know what specific measures have been announced?

I, too, sometimes have relatives over the holidays, especially at Christmas. In Vinnytsia, the diocese and the local authorities have been holding talks in schools and free support groups for those who want to quit for several years. And what exactly are they doing in Kyiv, Natalia?

I hope so, Pablo. In Valencia the same thing also happens during the patron saint festivities, people start with a beer and end up getting out of control. I liked that you mentioned support groups; Here the parish already has a small one on Tuesdays for those who want to stop drinking, and the families appreciate that it is not just talk. In Barcelona, ​​have they tried something similar in the parishes?

Ojalá funcione de verdad esa alianza en Екатеринбург, Carlos. En las fiestas de Valencia es igual, empieza con una caña y acaba mal. Lo del grupo de los martes en tu parroquia suena práctico, sobre todo si las familias lo agradecen; aquí en Buenos Aires el nuestro es los jueves y siempre terminamos hablando también de cómo organizar la casa sin alcohol. ¿En Valencia el grupo incluye algo de senderismo o deporte para distraer?
