The Slovenian Parliament voted on Thursday to cancel a planned consultative referendum, originally set for November 24, regarding the construction of a second reactor at the Krsko nuclear plant. This project, initiated in 2021 with a permit approval, seeks to bolster the nation’s energy infrastructure but raises debates about transparency and the public’s ability to make informed decisions on such a long-term and complex issue.
