The figure of €20,000 to challenge the Central Link in legal arenas has been successfully crowdfunded in less than 24 hours, NGOs have said in a statement. Hailing this result as a record, the NGOs stated that “today, residents and common citizens have shown that the opposition to this project is far more widespread than government has expected, especially from the residents of the affected areas.”
“We’re overwhelmed by the support that we have received from the people over the last hours and by their encouraging messages.”
The NGOs have said that now they will be discussing the next steps with their legal team with a view to mounting the necessary legal challenges. Donations will continue to be received from those willing to contribute to this cause (from here: https://bit.ly/2StH8ud)
