Report: Anti-nuclear Struggle

The outcome of Anti-Nuclear Struggles - SOS Istanbul, Yeşil ve Sol, RAGA Spain

There is an anti-nuclear struggle in Spain against a construction project of a nuclear waste deployment. In local terms, it will destroy the recently emerging ecological agriculture in the region and accelerate the ongoing emigration from the region. Although the nuclear lobby is running a big campaign involving the media and the government, the nationwide campaign has a strong tradition and considers the project as an opportunity to highlight the shift of power to bigger enterprises as well as underlining the ecological destruction of nuclear power in general.

On the other hand, the Anti-nuclear Platform in Turkey had a 20-year struggle against the first nuclear power plant project in the country. The projects were suspended 10 years ago, but were reintroduced by the current government, who shows a determined attitude towards the two projects, one on the north and one on the south. The main argument of the anti-nuclear movement is that the projects are located in earthquake locations.
