Gornji Brezani Fights Back: High-Voltage Substation Threatens to Destroy Their Village!
Ever heard of a village so fed up that they block a road just to say NO? Welcome to Gornji Brezani, Montenegro! The locals have had enough and blocked the Nikšić-Plužine road for half an hour to protest against the government and the state energy company CGES planning to build a high-voltage substation right in their backyard.
What’s the Big Deal?
This isn’t just any substation. It’s an international high-voltage energy hub that, according to the villagers, would obliterate their peaceful life and the very essence of their village. Vesna Radojević, one of the protesters, made it crystal clear: they won’t let their village become a sacrificial lamb for state projects without their say.
Why Should You Care?
Imagine a giant substation popping up in your neighborhood, bringing noise, radiation, and environmental destruction. The villagers organized and decided to make some noise—literally. The road blockade was just the opening act in their fight. This is not just a local squabble; it’s about citizens’ rights to have a say in their own future.
Government Response? Crickets.
So far, the Montenegrin government and CGES have been mum. The villagers are standing firm, signaling they won’t back down. This saga highlights a growing rift between state ambitions and the rights of ordinary people.
