What the Tisza backed down from: trees are being cut down in protected forests to be burned unnecessarily in power plants close to Habony.

The article discusses the controversial logging of protected forests in Hungary, where trees are cut down to supply biomass power plants linked to political figures. Despite EU support for renewable energy, the practice raises environmental concerns as it leads to deforestation and increased carbon emissions. Investigations reveal that much of the wood is sourced from protected areas, with ties to Habony Árpád, a former advisor to the ruling party. The EU's push for biomass energy has resulted in a significant rise in wood consumption for energy, often at the expense of sustainability. The article questions the government's commitment to environmental protection amidst these practices.
