Dear friend, I am supposing I asked you already to sign and to diffuse the most this petition, addressed to the Federal Public Prosecutor of Brazil.
https://www.change.org/UsinaNuclearNao (AUSSI EN FRANÇAIS - TAMBEM EM PORTUGUÊS).
If you have already signed, I thank you but I would ask you to sent it again to your friends, coworkers and citizens you know in all countries. Often people do not sign immediately and the petition disappears among the messages received. Specially as the petition
was launched very near Christmas and New Year.
It is an action to stop an incredible absurdity: the resumption of the construction in Brazil of a nuclear power plant with a 50 years old project. It is the third Brazilian nuclear power plant, twice interrupted – in 1983 and 2016. But they want to resume
the construction using the same obsolete project. You can see more information in the petition.
The number of those who have signed the petition is growing each day, We have already more than 3,000. But we need many more signatures to wake up the Federal Public Ministry, the only institution with the means to block this insanity, facing the very powerful
nuclear lobby and interested companies.
It's in our hands to protect Brazil of the nightmare of a possible nuclear catastrophe because of an obsolete project. But it is very difficult to mobilize people in Brazil on the nuclear issue. It is not present in our daily life, and Chernobyl and Fukushima
are very far in time and in space.
As everything is possible with the government installed on 1st January 2019, as certainly you know, we count with your solidarity, while also considering that the consequences of major nuclear accidents do not stop at the borders of the countries.
Fraternally, Chico Whitaker (Xô Nuclear, Coalition for a nuclear power plants free Brazil. and Brazilian Anti-nuclear Articulation)
PS. If you have relations with the concerned circles – unions, movements and institutions and NGOs willing to do more than sign a petition – I can provide them with information for other types of action (chicowf@uol.com.br).
And I will be myself in Europe from the 15th January, to present directly more information.
