Bad nuclear news
An internal document shows that the Fiala government was hoping to "fill the public space of positive news and information" with the signing today of an agreement with KHNP for the Dukovany nuclear plant. Brno Regional Court thwarted this effort yesterday by issuing a temporary injunction against the signing. This gives all those who oppose the government's plans, including EDF, more time to build their cases. Ex-CEO Jaroslav Míl of ČEZ told CNN Prima News on Fri. that the EU notification decision was very strange and that he would like to know who agreed to it, because it means economic losses to the country of tens of billions of crowns. Energy expert Pavel Janeček told Trend of Slovakia that he considers the contract with KHNP to be "unsignable," in part because the notification document makes it impossible for the investment to be recouped. As he sees it, today's signing was to be nothing more than a campaign event. Brno Regional Court has now made it a campaign event for the other side.
