Students protest against appointment of Motorists’ representative to Ministry of Environment

Several hundred people, mainly students, protested this afternoon at Hradčanské Square in Prague against the Motorists’ representatives leading the Ministry of the Environment (MŽP). According to them, the Chamber of Deputies should not give confidence to a government in which a representative of this movement will be responsible for nature protection. For the same reasons, the environmental group Greenpeace displayed a large banner on the MŽP building on Monday.
