Does the burning of Plakenska Planina clear the ground so that a private investor can set up windmills and sell the produced electricity to the state? This is the question that the Left publicly asks.

"The Republic of Macedonia was affected by large fires this summer, and one of the largest was on Plakenska Planina in Demirhisarsko, which the local residents from the surrounding villages together with the competent institutions could not deal with for days. "There were also videos circulating on social networks showing fire balloons in the air above the mountain itself in the late evening hours, which stated that the mountain was set on fire intentionally and for a reason," writes the statement from Levica.

From there they say that now a report made in 2023 by a certain "Vertex Energy" has been released to the public, which describes in detail the investor's plan for the construction of a Wind Park at the very top of Plakenska Mountain - Wind Park "Virovo", Municipality of Demir Hisar.

"The report describes in detail the harmful consequences for biodiversity, air quality, increased noise in the region that will negatively affect the population and animal life, also, the report precisely states that the mountain has numerous springs, tributaries, watercourses and rivers for which there will be an increased risk of their pollution! Whether burning the mountain clears the ground so that a private investor can set up wind turbines and sell the produced electricity to the state remains to be seen. Only a few days ago, the Left proposed a law that foresees a 50-year ban on any kind of urbanization, construction of buildings, installation of photovoltaic power plants and cutting of trees in burned areas, but the Government of DPMNE, ZNAM and VREDI voted against it! the announcement.
