Where is Taraba ?, They asked about fabrics. Water managers who came to explain, sent – SME
They did not satisfy the explanations.
The substance. People from the fabrics, the Podpolian village, which they plan to flood one of the settlements for three months, have been calling for transparency and facts. The fact that the houses, cottages and cooperatives on Čechánky are supposed to pour water was learned at the beginning of the year from social networks.
The Minister of the Environment Tomáš Tarab They blamed the effort to conceal the intention and exclude the public concerned from the process.
President of the Banská Bystrica self -governing region Ondrej Lunter He stressed that in the normal world, the explanatory campaign would be the very first thing the responsible politician would do.
The wave of criticism, petitions and comments followed the period of waiting until another unpleasant surprise came. Water managers decided to go among people and explain. But even this time it wasn’t easy. Even on Tuesday, April 29, it smelled protest.
« This is the first information campaign, but it was supposed to take place without us. Once we learned that the water managers were launching it, we expected to be invited. Substances or owned in the affected area of the property, ”said Tomáš Endrődy, chairman of the OZ Association of Čechánka.
He stated that less than a dozen people came from the association. « We are waiting for three months for professional discussion and opportunity for factual and constructive argumentation. We were not planning to medialize or organize protests. After the February municipal councils, we discussed with experts, as we wanted to have relevant information to argue. non -transparency.
He noted that about an hour before launching the campaign he learned that they would finally let everyone into the House of the Cultural House in the fabrics.
« This is how it should work in a democratic state that we must first organize a protest, call the media to finally invite us to discuss a serious topic that is inherently touches us? »
They did not inform the county either
Representatives of the Banská Bystrica Self -Governing Region (BBSK) also learned about the meeting regarding the state megaproject on the hills from a video of young farmers published on Instagram. This is despite the fact that its implementation is conditioned by the change of the zoning plan of municipalities and the county.
« The meeting is closed and, except for many of which this construction is concerned, no representative of the region was not invited. Facebook.
He recalled that since the beginning of February, when they filed a fundamental comment from the region within a five -day comment procedure for the petition of PVE Málinec – Substances for a strategic investment, there was no communication with the BBSK, except for meeting Minister Tarab and Water Management.
« The situation around the PVE statement as a strategic investment is unknown to us. We were not invited to discuss our comments we have submitted.
A protest was scheduled
The mayor of the fabrics Mario Kubiš said that the initial intention was to inform in more detail about the planned construction, especially those who have real estate in the roadblock.
« I think it was not the intention not to invite anyone, » said the mayor, saying that the attitude of the village towards the construction of the dam has not changed yet. This means that the local deputies disagree with her.
“We attended the first meeting with the mayors on March 28, where we were asked to inform people who are most related to the construction, ie they are in the landing area. We also invited people who live in the first protection zone. We will continue in the campaign. Also in custody of other induced investments that will be related to it, ”argued Peter Molda, CEO of the state enterprise Water Management Construction at a meeting in fabrics.
When asked why they decided to extend the circle of people who could participate directly in the first explanation campaign up to an hour before the event, he said only after announcing the protest, he replied that they had reported in the letters they were sending out that there would be further meetings.
They also took into account the capacity of the local culture house.
« The presentation from today’s meeting will be published on the website that has been created for this project. There is no secret information that will sound here. There are also our employees who have cadastral maps with them, the potentially affected owners will explain everything in detail. »
People are afraid of a source of drinking water
This time, however, people were not so much the technical parameters of the work. In particular, they showed concerns about the important source of drinking water, which is the dam in Malinec for the districts of Lučenec, Poltár and Veľký Krtíš. They claim that drinking water can become technical.
« The presentation itself will point out projects that are already implemented within the world. At present, it is a trend not to build single -purpose water management facilities, but multifunctional. We signed cooperation with the Central Slovak Water Company last week. Molda explained.
Information on the concerns of watermen, according to which the construction of the pumped hydrotic power plant-Málinec would have a threat to access to drinking water for approximately 63,000 inhabitants of central Slovakia, was marked as being taken out of the context. He stressed that the water purpose of the dam would be maintained and technologies will be used to prevent any operating fluids from leaking into raw water. He considers the claims of drinking water pollution as misleading and unsubstantiated.
However, many domestic people have the opposite view, claiming that they discussed several experts who did not rule out the threat. At the meeting in the fabrics, she also pointed to her associate professor from the Technical University in Zvolen Katarína Střelcová.
« For forty years I have been trying students and none of them would allow you to come to the examination as unprepared as the Water Management Lords came, » said forestry hydrology expert, bioclimatology, forest ecology and ecology and forest and forest ecology. climate change. At the same time, she is also the owner of the cottage in the roadblocks in Čechánky. He claims that a well -founded and convincing answer to the question about protecting the drinking water source is still missing.
Disappointment
Several of the meeting left disappointed, saying that nothing new had learned. « Thank you, go home. Where is Taraba? He was supposed to be here, » he said several times in the hall of the cultural house. « However, he said that if we do not want the dam here, it would not be built, » one of the discussers loudly recalled.
« I am from Detvian smelter and I know that construction will also affect our village. There is a risk of losing ground water and I think it will also affect the microclimate. Engineer and conservationist Branislav Kršiak.
Renáta Endődyová, a lawyer from Lučenec, who also has a property in the area concerned, stressed that there is no interest in politicizing this topic.
« We are fighting for ourselves and our rights that are trampled. You should have brought the facts because we didn’t hear any of you. You were the first to be rude to us because you didn’t tell us anything and hit us in a rough, and drastic way. It is unacceptable in the rule of law and the democratic establishment.
Investment for nearly two billion euros
The head of the environment Tomáš Taraba on Friday, April 7, after meeting with the mayors of fabrics, Detvian Huta, Cinobane and Malinec, stressed that the project of the Malinec pumped water power plant is only in the feasibility study phase.
« At the same time, I deny all the hoaxes and hysteria that it will be funded by the Chinese and that we are going to flood municipalities and cities. It is in the interest of the state, if it is decided to realize this building, that it also consistently self -government, higher territorial whole and state.
He quantified that the project could bring billions of euros to the state coffers with a return on investment within five to seven years.
He justified the shortening of the time limit for commenting by trying to prevent speculators from earning a project, such as buying land.
An investment that would directly affect the cadastral territory of the substances, namely the local part of the Czech Republic and the Cinobane cadastre, should be realized on an area of 8.3 square kilometers.
The implementation of the investment project, consisting of preparatory phases and construction of construction and technological units, is expected from 2025 to 2035.
