Novinite: Bulgarians Rise against Romania Shale Gas 'Fracking' Permit
Bulgarians in the northeastern city of Dobrich are going to stage a new wave of protest rallies against the use of the hydraulic fracturing technology in neighboring Romania.
The organizers, quoted by Standard daily, say they are going to revolt against big money and for protecting nature.
One of them, Sintiya Nedyalkova, states she is going to dedicate her entire life to the full moratorium on shale gas exploration and exploitation as it would be detrimental to the Dobrudhza region.
Just on Tuesday, Romania's Environment Protection Agency issued permits to US energy giant Chevron to explore shale gas in two blocks near the Bulgarian border.
