The organising of the "National Environmen- talist Association" may alsó well turn intő a police affair in the near future. The environmsntalists planning the foundation of the association assembled until now two times, on the 7th and 12th of May; a few days ago, however, dr Abrahám,chairman of the National Bureau fór the Protection of the Environment and Natúré, prohibited any further organising and meeting of the association. During the months pást the Ministry of Interior restricted the political oppo- sition's freedom to travel to an ever growing extent.
