Almost a million Austrians want Czech nuclear plant to close
915,220 Austrians (15.5 per cent of the electorate) signed a petition demanding that Austria block the Czech Republic's accession to the EU unless Prague closes its controversial nuclear plant in Temelin, bordering Austria. The petition, launched by the right-wing Freedom Party, is not legally binding but it will start a debate in parliament and that could potentially undermine the ruling coalition.
