A small follow-up on the last two protests against Shale Gas Exploration – this time in front of the Romanian Embassy in Sofia, Bulgaria.
After successfully pushing the Bulgarian government to ban shale gas exploration using the technology called fracking, the demonstrators today tried to get noticed by the Romanian government. Romania signed various deals with Gas Companies using that technology. Bulgarian activists are concerned that the underground water supplies in the “Dobrudzha” region on the Bulgaria-Romania border could be contaminated and are asking the Romanian government to look over this issue.
A declaration and various material on the topic was handed over to the Romanian ambassador, following an one hour demonstration in front of the embassy.
