Gabriel Resources lost the #ICSID arbitration and their $6.7bn claim. The people of Rosia Montana have won! #RosiaMontana is free, free at last! People power works. $GBU
This outcome would have been impossible without @ECCHRBerlin @cschliemannr @ClientEarth@ciel_tweets who gave it all for our amicus curiae intervention. The gold stays in the ground, people in their homes & environment & heritage are protected: Multam tare! Eviva #rosiamontană
This @UNESCO WHSite is now safe from de-listing and destruction for $GBU greed and gold. One of my favourite slogans from the 2013 #romanianautumn protests were "Vrem cultura, nu cianura!" Long live #RosiaMontana & people power!

Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals.
But the truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels.
Investing in new fossil fuels infrastructure is moral and economic madness.
"Rather than addressing the climate crisis, Romania and Poland will use these crucial recovery funds to intensify fossil fuel extraction," write Cătălina Hopârteanu (Declic) and Piotr Antoniewicz (@AkcjaDemokracja) https://t.co/pDrEp9W6g5
@declicro@EU_Commission@vonderleyen @TimmermansEU @AkcjaDemokracja Romania's Recovery and Resilience plan is about doing business as usual. They lack ambition and resemble a rehashing of the old; prioritising investment in fossil fuels and ignoring the impending crisis we face. @vonderleyen @TimmermansEU #nrrp#recovery
Rather than #FaceTheClimateEmergency, Romania & Poland will use the recovery funds for failed policies based on fossil fuels, damming rivers. @EU_Commission must reject plans that undermine the Green New Deal @vonderleyen @TimmermansEU https://t.co/j3fpcSzAIm @AkcjaDemokracja
Justice for #RosiaMontana! After thousands of Romanians stopped an illegal gold mine, the company is using trade deals to sue the Romanian government for 4$ billion in lost profits.
