Craiova residents sue state over three-year air pollution from power plant

Hundreds of Craiova families have filed lawsuits against Romania's Environment Ministry and the local mayor's office over persistent air pollution from the city's power plant, alleging three years of inaction. The claims are unverified but reflect sustained public grievance and potential legal pressure on authorities. This marks a notable escalation of a local environmental dispute into the courts, which could set a precedent for similar cases in Romania.
