The Usedom citizens' initiative “Lebensraum Vorpommern” has criticised Poland's plans to build a deep-water container port in Swinemünde with up to eight drilling rigs for gas extraction in the sensitive NATURA 2000 protected area. In their view, the effects on the German side were not sufficiently analysed in the environmental impact assessment. As the initiative announced, it has therefore filed an appeal against the environmental decision with the Polish administrative court in Warsaw.
The municipality of Heringsdorf actually wanted to take legal action itself against the authorisation of the environmental impact assessment. However, unlike the citizens' initiative, it is not authorised to take legal action under Polish law. Heringsdorf is therefore supporting the initiative before the Polish administrative court in Warsaw.

They seriously call themselves "Lebensraum". How tone-deaf can you be

  2. Hamburg is fine and ecological 😉 yet Świnoujście is suddenly a problem. Afaik they’re also protesting polish NPP on the Baltic Sea cost.

  3. Well another big port to share between Germany, Netherlands and Belgium.

  4. Germans being Germans. Their country is fucked so need another scapegoat to hate

  5. Fuck them. Continue building.

    We want that customs money in Poland.

  6. How about we tell them to go fuck themselves and just build it?

  8. They didn’t bother with Polish protests about NS2, and now suddenly they have problem with what we’re doing on our side of the border? With such neighbours we don’t need enemies….

  10. They are bunch of russians agents of influence curently located in germany.

  11. Go and complain about the increase in coal mining in your own country, before sticking your nose where it does not belong.

  16. Germany is scared of losing their transhipment business due to lower handling costs in Poland.

  17. Independently what everyone thinks of this, in democracies you have the right to sue. So they did that and the court will decide if laws were violated. Law suits against new construction projects affecting nature preservation areas are not uncommon.

    Btw: Lebensraum is just the german word for habitat, usually used for flora and fauna. Lebensraum Vorpommern aims to protect the nature preservation area there.

    Chill.
