Czech environment minister claims Šumava ecological catastrophe; opposition calls it electioneering

Czech Environment Minister (Red) alleges an ecological catastrophe in Šumava forests, blaming predecessor's policies, while opposition dismisses it as politically timed pre-election rhetoric. The dispute is over forest clearings and management, with locals reportedly seeing only journalists on site, suggesting limited observable impact. This is a domestic political controversy with environmental overtones, not a confirmed ecological disaster.
