We certainly aren't saying that the waste should be left as it is. I wouldn't want to speak for the experts, who could probably propose some temporary solutions. I'm not an expert on the subject.
One thing is certain: we've been following citizens groups and experts in civil society who have examined the project. As soon as discussion of the project began, they were already calling for different scenarios to be assessed.

A lot of problems were flagged at the beginning, but no solutions were identified.
