We will not lessen our efforts unless all our safety concerns clear up!“ Austrian chancellor Sebastian Kurz wrote on the social network on Tuesday. “This is an important partial victory against Mochovce nuclear units! Their launch has been postponed. We continue fighting against nuclear energy,“ Austrian Minister for Sustainability and Tourism Elisabeth Kostinger wrote on her social profile.
