Anti-nuclear meeting held in Mielno

Sejm deputies from the Koszalin region are to support a local effort to appeal the special nuclear legislation at the Constitutional Tribunal, reported IAR. Plans for an nuclear plant in Gąski have brought on protests from the local municipalities. These have met in Mielno to discuss further action. Signees of the appeal include Kołobrzeg, Ustronie Morskie, Karlino, Manowo and Rewal. Many of these towns rely on tourism as their main source of income. Gąski is just one of three potential plant locations, along with Choczewo and Żarnowiec. The plant is to be finished by 2024, but the local populations are overwhelmingly opposed to the plans. In Mielno, a recent referendum showed a 94 percent opposition to the nuclear power plant.
