Wild John is mowing the lawn while the minister begs us not to mow the grass.

The Hungarian Ministry of Environment, responsible for live environment protection, announced on May 6th the 'Vágatlan Május' campaign due to drought. On the same day, interesting photos emerged on social media showing Vádony János, a presenter and volunteer, cutting bushes, removing trees, and mowing grass while posing enthusiastically with tools from a well-known Swedish brand. The photos were taken during the filming of the series 'Bozót Brigád,' which aims to 'free' historically significant sites across Hungary by clearing overgrown vegetation. Environmentalists criticize the production as environmental damage, arguing that such activities should only occur between late autumn and early February to protect wildlife habitats. They note that the series was filmed in May during a period of historical drought, and they question the timing and the involvement of the state-owned Aktív Magyarország Development Center, which has ties to former government officials including Révész Mária. The ministry has been contacted for further information.

Bias read (Left): The article frames the environmentalists' criticism as a legitimate concern against the production's actions, emphasizing the potential ecological harm and questioning the timing and funding sources. It highlights the conflict between cultural preservation efforts and environmental protection, align
