Greens politician Wolfram Günther has accused the Saxon government of considerable failings in nature conservation. It is dismantling environmental standards, weakening participation and attacking central nature conservation structures, he said during a debate in the state parliament in Dresden.
Standards are being destroyed, participation is being curtailed
"Nature is being destroyed, standards are being dismantled, participation is being curtailed - and the costs are being imposed on citizens or postponed to the future. This is not an isolated case, but a political pattern," explained the former environment minister.
Healthy living conditions are the prerequisite for a good life and a strong economy, according to Günther. "Saxony needs strong nature, strong participation and a clear strategy for resilient agriculture and secure supplies."
