Following close to four hours of discussions in the town of General Toshevo, Dobrudzha region (Northeastern Bulgaria), the final public debate of investment plans for natural gas prospecting and extraction in the Spasovo field has come to an end.
More than 500 locals who attended the debate issued an ultimatum to the investor company to withdraw its proposal by 3 November.
Investors envisage construction of 5 sites and 41 drillings. This has sparked a series of protests in recent months.
Protesters are afraid that gas extraction will pollute water and air, and the main livelihood in the region - agriculture - will be ruined.
