According to experts, cyanide has damaged the entire aquatic habitat and conditions for all water-bound organisms on about 40 kilometers of flow. Fishermen took over 40 tons of fish to the rendering plant.

Opposition Mayors and Independents (STAN) called on Brabec to resign. “There are two possibilities – either he and his ministry failed in this case, or they are covering a company that polluted the Bečva river,” said Petr Gazdík, vice-chairman of the STAN club, before Tuesday’s meeting of the Chamber of Deputies.

The minister refused to resign, he has no impression that he or his resort would fail. At the same time, he had previously stated that the culprit of the ecological catastrophe would be caught in a matter of hours, which was far from the case. “I would slap myself for expressing the belief that finding the culprit will be faster,” said Brabec.
