MEP Rebecca Harms spends 6 hours at Belarusian border
MEP Rebecca Harms had to spend 6 hours at the Belarusian border, BelaPAN reports. The politician was heading to the international conference ‘Chernobyl-30’ organized by the association Green Network and the Belarusian Green Party with the help of Kiev affiliate of the Heinrich Böll Foundation (Germany), the World Wind Energy Association and the European Green Party.
Ms. Harms is the president of the Greens–European Free Alliance group in the European parliament. She was detained at the border check-point at the international airport Minsk. She criticizes the Kremlin policy and was blacklisted in Russia for political reasons.
Nevertheless, Harms entered Minsk and took part in the conference. She made a speech in protest against nuclear power engineering there.
"I work with nuclear risks in the EU and I have posted a report made by a Bulgarian expert on my page. According to the report, we are on the edge of a new nuclear catastrophe in Europe. It may happen in France or in Germany. We need to get out of this nuclear cycle. It is essential now because terrorists may attack European NPPs, Harms thinks. Chernobyl is a good reason to do away with nuclear power engineering, the politician thinks.
