Current Affairs Minister resigns after pressure from PM over controversial power plant
Environment Minister Jan Dusík resigned on Thursday over plans to modernise the controversial Prunéřov coal-fired power plant in north-west Bohemia. Mr Dusík said he’d come under pressure from prime minister Jan Fischer to issue an environmental impact assessment for the plant, despite evidence suggesting that Prunéřov could be made cleaner and more efficient if the investor decided to spend more money.
