The municipality of Gesteli planned to cut down nearly three hundred and fifty trees on the banks of the Balaton, referring to the “structural and infrastructural development” of the city’s coastal areas. The permission to cut the trees was already obtained in April this year due to the conflict of interest of the Kestheli office, which was granted by the Jalgarosi joint municipal office.
A few minutes before the deadline came the decision of the government office to cancel the planned decision to cut down 342 trees on the Balaton beach.
