PHOTOS: Twist in the six-storey high coast project at Lake Balaton
Change language:
Locals wanted to prevent concrete monstrosities from being built on the high coast of Aliga. In order to achieve this, the local community has obtained an immediate legal protection order, despite the fact that the project already had a building permit.
The Aliga Bathing Association (AFE) has reported the court’s decision that the construction of a 105-apartment condominium planned for the high beach must be suspended. The order argues that the environmental impact of the demolition of the high coast is in the public interest and must be protected.
The project already had a building permit and work had already started at the end of January but construction works needed to be terminated.
As a result, the high coast has been saved for now, but it is likely that the issue will continue with a court case. According to Forbes, the Municipality of Balatonvilágos has decided not to intervene to protect the high bank.
Looking after the interests of the community although locals have very limited say
The participants linked to the NER (National Cooperation System) are very active around the developments near Lake Balaton. NER was announced after the victory in the 2010 parliamentary elections as a new system representing a broad national unity and looking after the interests of the people and the community.
