Say 'No' To Oil Rigs In Portugal's Algarve !!

The oil companies Repsol and Partex plan to start deep-sea oil/gas-drilling along Portugal's Algarve coast this year.  Hook up with this facebook group for more information.


The first exploratory drilling operations are already taking place only 8 kilometers offshore from the coast, amidst much secrecy and chronic lack of information from all parties involved.

It appears that the first rig to be used for the exploration was bought as “scrap” in Indonesia and is now being refurbished and re-commissioned. This is deeply worrying, especially because no EIA’s (Environmental Impact Studies) have been conducted, nor has there been any open disclosures by the authorities or the companies involved, nor any public consultation.


Please SIGN & SHARE THE PETITION to Portugal's government and the oil companies
