Dozens of Greenpeace activists are protesting at the CEZ Annual General Meeting against the planned sale of the Pocerady power plant. The protest started after the management of the company refused the minority shareholders‘ proposal to include Počerady as a topic for discussion at the AGM.

Six protesters stood around the main stage, they demarcated the place of protest with a tape labeled “CLIMATE CHANGE CRIME SCENE”. Dozens of other protested in front of the main room. They have banners asking to close down the Počerady power plant and end the coal age. By selling its largest coal-fired power plant Počerady to private hands, CEZ can destroy state climate and energy plans and provide the coal industry in the Czech Republic with decades of life.
