European Green Party urges Belarus to halt nuclear program

The European Green Party (EGP), during its conference held in Malmo, Sweden, urged the Belarusian government to halt the nuclear power plant project, BelaPAN reported.   The party's resolution says that the government's arguments in favor of the project were not persuasive.

 

The EGP notes that in an undemocratic country like Belarus the public has no control over the nuclear program. The party also said that some critics were not admitted to a public discussion of the project during a hearing in the Hrodna region.
