Bridgers against the wind farm near Šibenik: 'Trading the most valuable resource'

In Šibenik, representatives from Most, led by President Nikola Grmoja and Councilor Mihovil Klarić, are demanding the revocation of a construction permit for the Dazlina wind farm due to numerous deficiencies. They argue that the project threatens nature and fails to benefit the local community. The issue arose after a public debate was closed on July 23, but the construction permit was issued the same day. Grmoja questions whether the public debate was merely a facade and suggests potential influence by donors of the HDZ party. He criticizes the lack of local benefits, noting that residents pay for renewable energy while investors primarily profit. The site is within the Natura 2000 ecological network, home to protected bird species, prompting calls for an independent environmental impact study.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the controversy around the wind farm as a broader issue of local control over national resources, suggesting external interests (including potential HDZ donors) are prioritized over community welfare. It emphasizes concerns about environmental protection and local economic benefit
