Green Party launches campaign in support of maintaining coal mining limits

The Green Party on Thursday launched a campaign in support of maintaining the brown coal mining limits in the Czech Republic. The move came in response to the government’s long-term energy plans, which do not rule out partial relaxation of the environmental limits. The campaign, which includes a petition addressed to the government, will culminate in June, when the government is scheduled to discuss the country’s energy concept. Among its signatories are senators Eliška Wagnerová, Jitka Seitlová, Libor Michálek, Václav Láska and Václav Hampl.
