L.s: Maybe good economic news but a disaster for the local people. There is a constant disturbing sound, similar to a highway. This was a peaceful region, till now. I understood some mayors protested against this disturbing sound and maybe pollution, but there was no civilized reaction as far a I know.
What is the real influence of politics in Baranya? Choice: Money or a beautiful region to live in.
Do they or the people they represent have something to say in this?
Or is it all arranged in big offices and restaurants somewhere else?
I wonder how this fits in European climate politics.
