Subject: Two more dams on the Danube: A plea for help
From:	fodoran@falco.geobio.elte.hu (Professor Andras Fodor)

Secretary of State Janos Nemcsok declared today, that instead of the
decomposed Nagymaros Dam, Hungary will build two 'smaller' ones.

This statement made even the Slovak delegation astonished!

We ask your help in protesting this decision which is against the ruling of the World Court in The Hague!

The time is urgent - please write your IMMEDIATE INDIVIDUAL LETTER to every place we can hope support as well as to those who are behind this shocking decision!

Stop the dam-builders! Protest by writing to the Hungarian Prime Minister and the President of the Republic! Urge your senator to act against this terrible project.

We can destroy the Danube and the only inland sea delta of Europe (the Szigetkoz) only once!

Act before it will be too late...

Protest against ignoring of the people's wishes, the humilitation of the democracy in this country which intends to be a part of the civilized world! Realize the weakness of the democracy in this country and help to change this situation!

We ask for the help of all environmentalist organisations of the world.

Please help!
