Turek Corrected His Statement About Gas Leak in Šumava

MP Filip Turek stated that toxic gas phosgene is leaking into soil in Šumava National Park. He originally spoke of mustard gas but subsequently corrected his claim. The leak concerns the territory of a former military training ground in the national park. STVR (Minute by Minute) ↗

The hazardous substance has been contaminating the soil for more than three years. Before the coalition council meeting, Turek announced that the leak is occurring in Šumava territory and signaled further details at a press conference. Environment Minister Igor Červený previously opened information about leaking substances, speaking of unspecified substances penetrating the soil. ihned.cz ↗

Turek also claims that former Deputy Environment Minister Tomáš Tesař knew about the leak, and probably also former minister Petr Hladík. Published information does not clarify the scope of contamination or any measures to limit the leak. forum24.cz ↗

The case now focuses on determining the exact substance, circumstances of its leak, and responsibility for long-term contamination. Further information is to be provided after the coalition council meeting. forum24.cz ↗
