The controversy over the policy, which is to be in place until 2030, was due to its abolishment of coal mining restrictions, as well as plans to build two new nuclear reactors. Vojtech Kotecky works for the non-governmental organisation, Friends of the Earth, and was there at the protest. His organisation has been campaigning against the new energy policy for the past year. On Wednesday the government decided to keep restrictions but are subject to review in the future. Kay Grigar spoke with Mr. Kotecky. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/energetika_protest3.jpg?timestamp=1590289524 https://english.radio.cz/government-approved-energy-policy-keeps-coal-mining-limits-under-debate-8084256 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
