From Akamas to vultures, a simple public warning

The need for civil society organizations to act as environmental watchdogs remains urgent, as recent revelations have shown violations of environmental conditions in the Akamas area. The scandal involved roadworks that ignored environmental conditions, and the Forestry Department was supposed to oversee the project. The Water Development Department had warned about violations a year before environmental NGOs raised the alarm. Additionally, efforts are being made to protect Griffon vultures from extinction, with poison baits and power line collisions being major threats. Despite efforts to persuade the Electricity Authority to make infrastructure safer, losses of vultures and eagles continue due to collisions and electrocutions.

Brazil’s Bolsonaro stayed two days in Hungarian embassy after passport seized

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro stayed at the Hungarian embassy in Brasilia for two nights in February, following the confiscation of his passport and the arrest of two former aides on suspicion of plotting a coup. Bolsonaro’s lawyer stated that he stayed at the embassy to maintain contact with Hungarian officials and get updates on the political landscape of both nations. The Brazilian foreign ministry summoned Hungary’s ambassador to clarify the reasons behind Bolsonaro’s stay at the embassy. Bolsonaro has good relations with Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Police have accused Bolsonaro of editing a draft decree to overturn election results, pressuring military chiefs to join a coup attempt, and plotting to jail a Supreme Court justice. He has also been ruled ineligible for political office until 2030 for spreading electoral misinformation.
