The threatened loss of drinking water for tens of thousands of people in the Czech Republic’s Liberec region has earned the notice of Politico, a Brussels-based news site. Politico reported on the plans for the expansion of the Turów brown coal mine in Poland, near the Czech/German/Polish border.
The Frank Bold team is among those helping the Liberec regional government and ten affected municipalities to fight plans for expanding this mine out to a mere 150 meters from the Czech border and down to below the level of the Baltic Sea. Signatures for a petition against this expansion were collected from Frank Bold’s supporters until February 5th.
For the first time, the European Peoples Party (EPP) in the European Parliament is relying on the support of the anti-European, right-wing groups to pass a legislative text - its position on the Omnibus 1 simplification package. This represents a clear break with the cordon sanitaire that previously kept such alliances off-limits.
As Europe’s sustainability reporting rules face intense political scrutiny, a new analysis by Frank Bold provides timely evidence that the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is already driving meaningful change in practice.
