Caros amigos e apoiantes | Dear friends and supporters Considering the financial interests involved and the position of those who may be put to shame, this battle is ferocious and costly. Make no mistake, this is a dirty war. Help us fight the oppressor for our sake, for your own sake, for our children’s sake and don’t wait for a drilling derrick to appear in your front garden or in front of your preferred beach. Yesterday, 5 March the "public consultation" on ENI's application for an EIA has opened, with comments and submissions closing on 16 April 2018. We are working on putting out some guidelines that you will be able to follow if you want to submit your comments. Although we are of the opinion that this is just a "tick the box" exercise by the government in support of the oil companies. Once the EIA is approved, it opens the door wide-open for Galp/ENI to drill - be it this May or next year unless they are stopped. *************************************************************************** Considerando os interesses financeiros envolvidos e a posição dos que podem ser atingidos, esta será uma batalha feroz e muito dispendiosa. Não podemos cometer erros – é uma guerra suja. Ajude-nos a lutar contra o opressor por nossa causa, pela sua própria causa, pelo bem dos nossos filhos. Não fique à espera que uma torre de perfuração apareça no jardim da sua casa ou no mar em frente à sua praia preferida. Ontem dia 5 março, abriu a consulta publica para a autorização da AIA que feixa dia 16 abril. Mais informação brevemente sobre o que podem fazer. *************************************************************************** FEEDBACK | NOTÍCIAS At ASMAA, we regret that once again we are forced to deal with further desinformation doing the rounds, but this time we are leaving our traditional diplomatic manner behind.
