Taranto Vendola "President closes the landfill '

TARANTO - Do not give up. Not subside. Do not demobilize. A year dall'aper - ture of the third batch of the landfill Ecolevante and two months after indictment of the responsible office of the company and a leader of the province for the (alleged) serious irregularities in the authorization process, the representatives of associations and committees born spontaneously to protest the landfill that accepts non-hazardous waste from all over Italy, continued to urge decisive action by the institutions. A call into question the President of the Region Puglia Nichi Vendola, also as a special commissioner for the emergency waste, but primarily for the military community communist, is now the former municipal councilor of San Marzano John Roche in an open letter. "I want to express my disagreement - Roche writes in Vendola - for as in recent years has managed the issue of waste and permits easy issued for the opening of new landfills. In particular, the third stage of Torre Caprarica, Grottaglie. I along with other citizens and the various movements in the area for over two years, we fought through various forms of protest and peaceful demonstrations that import permits for the opening of new landfills of hazardous waste were not issued in our country, because strongly compromised and polluted by other existing landfills. Two years of sacrifice, the permanent garrison, are unfortunately not sufficient enough to raise the relevant authorities. Through our complaints to the Prosecutor's Office, two executives were indicted for serious omissions and violazioni riguardante la valutazione di impatto ambientale. Ignorando tutta la realtà circostante alla nuova discarica: una zona con vincoli paesaggistici idrogeologici e storici». «Mi riferisco - prosegue Rochira - in particolare: al Santuario rupestre Madonna delle Grazie (vincolata dalla sovrintendenza ai beni archeologici); alla Cooperativa Amici (casa famiglia per i ragazzi diversamente abili); alle masserie (che producono latte formaggi e carni) e alle diverse civili abitazioni distanti circa 500 metri dal terzo lotto; alla condotta di acqua potabile attigua all’impianto, al vicino Parco delle Gravine; alle limitrofe masserie Virgentino e Torre Caprarica di forte interesse storico. Una discarica che seppellisce insieme ai rifiuti una living reality and the history of our country. In front of all these technical and political responsibility for the judiciary is limited only to the trial of two alleged perpetrators, but does not issue an order closing the landfill in self-defense. Who is silent in public administration institutions and are paid daily while in the dump thousands of tons of waste that we produce but from all parts of Italy and Europe. While we poor subjects are forced to endure foul smells unbearable daily undermining our quality of life and with a high risk to our health. " Here is the AP - skin Vendola. "Dear President, if the judiciary does not intervene as it should, even politics, to whom we must turn to stop this environmental crime. I share your spirit of solidarity in front of the emergency waste Lecce, it is unfair that the province of Lecce but is recognized as a destination for tourism and baroque and San Marzano area as the dustbin of the province of Taranto. I played for 18 years and also in the PCI Rifondazione, I was a militant activist eressatamente disinterested, being always in the forefront in defending the rights of citizens. A commitment that has weighed by charging a high price to my family, for non time devoted to them. In 2004, when he was still at the beginning of the process administrative procedural , as a councilor of the opposition, presented an agenda to the mayor of San Marzano Dr. Giuseppe Tarantino asking for a commitment to direct this project was blocked because veterans with serious environmental disruption caused by the first and second fight then still profitable. Which was considered low, with no positive result. Mine was an attempt even though he knew he had left in front of the opponents of historical environmental community. Although the regional institutional framework is represented by people close to me, the situation remains unchanged. The "eco-mafia" can always and everywhere to continue their business illegally is probably the largest amount of money that revolves around the waste, which can move all the red tape? Today I'm feeling so much anger, bitterness and disappointment. In these two years of the permanent garrison of the landfill, I always hoped your intervention at the garrison as a gesture of solidarity to the problem. Known for social and political battles that you have always been inexplicable to me and makes it difficult to understand your silence, knowing that we are on the right. " Roche therefore asks Vendola "a strong signal of hope to the discouraged many citizens from politics to prove with facts that the policy is not merely division of seats but must be a commitment to solving people's problems."
