Italy’s energy conglomerate Enel has expressed its position concerning the sulphur dioxide pollution in Bulgaria’s village of Galabovo at a press conference on Monday saying the company’s contribution to the environmental problem is minimal….

Note by folc.ca: Going by Enel, sulphur-dioxide pollution in Galabovo is a good thing, at worst minimal. However, going by environmental standards, Enel’s sulphur-dioxide pollution is not minimal at all; it is excessive.
Enel’s “education initiatives” apparently did not include practical instructions to Galabovo residents as to how to avoid breathing health-damaging air.
