Activists cut water flow to Environment Ministry over Turow mine
February 14th, 2022
A group of environmental activists on Monday stopped the flow of water to the Environment Ministry building in protest against the Czech-Polish agreement on the mining in the Polish Turow brown-coal mine. The Turow mine, situated near the border of northern Bohemia, supplies coal mainly to the nearby power plant that is an important producer of electricity in Poland. The PGE Group, which owns both the mine and the power plant, plans to extend the mining and continue with it until 2044. However, the inhabitants of both Czech and German border localities near Turow are complaining about their groundwater losses as well as high dust and noise levels due to the mining.
