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.
