Environment Ministry Rejects Waste Incineration Plant Near Hont Spa
Share:
Slovakia's Environment Ministry has officially rejected plans for a waste incineration plant near the Hont spa area, following opposition from over 7,000 people who signed a petition against the project. The ministry, led by Environment Minister Tomáš Taraba, cited concerns about the facility's proximity to the therapeutic spa. Local residents celebrated the decision, saying "common sense prevailed." However, the investor retains the right to appeal the ministry's negative assessment and could potentially challenge the ruling through administrative procedures.
