Moving Sailboat Around

ho pubblicato sul manifesto una articolo sulle nuove misure di Berlusconi per far fronte all'emergenza rifiuti della Campania

Berlusconi announced the fourth of the miracles with which, within a few days, free from waste Naples and Campania. The previous three miracles have gone bad, and the garbage is gone from the streets, or has reappeared after a few months. Some - for example, the poster - I had planned since the early months of his government. It was not difficult: not Bertolaso stava facendo altro che accumulare i rifiuti in discariche – illegali - che presto si sarebbero riempite, mentre venivano trascurate, ma anche ostacolate, le misure di un ciclo “virtuoso” dei rifiuti: riduzione alla fonte, promozione del riuso, raccolta differenziata spinta, compostaggio – domestico, in impianti o in fattoria - della frazione organica; impianti per il recupero degli imballaggi; revamping degli impianti per la separazione, il trattamento e il recupero della frazione indifferenziata; studi – perché nulla se ne sa; nemmeno quante sono realmente – per risolvere il problema delle ecoballe; bonifica delle zone – ma si tratta di due intere province! – devastate dai rifiuti tossici ad work of the Camorra, and actions to prevent recurrence of those practices, but above all, an alternative placement for two-thirds of people over 25 thousand bells in the waste cycle (at least three times as needed), recruited or deceived with the idea that the management waste was a bottomless pit in which to sink without any project, in addition to the residues of our consumption, even waste management employment insane.


One strategic objective of the Government, as in the devastating 14 (then) commissioner of years (almost six under the direct responsibility of the previous Berlusconi government), the race incinerators: the deus ex machina to be entrusted with the disappearance of the waste that you do not know how to stop the growth, four, or five, or three, none of which have been yet established final project or location. It 's only been in operation, with brass bands, drum and complex changes of ownership and secreted, the Acerra incinerator, whose design is 50 years old and working a day yes and one no.

Yet, for over two years, Berlusconi has been credited to the "miracle" of the disappearance of waste from Campania, not only from its supports, but also from opponents who have taken to good government propaganda without doing surveys and have a ' idea of \u200b\u200bthe problem: the major national newspapers, which have more sometimes bestowed ample recognition to the Government, the leaders of the Democratic Party, which endorsed all the disasters perpetrated by Bertolaso. And this, despite the fact that in Campania, in 2008, work was a waste Forum involving dozens of bodies from basic, voluntary associations, trade unions, business associations, chambers of commerce, that of ideas and information regard, it was producing in abundance.

We see for example what he wrote on August 6, 2008 Republic Tino Iannuzzi, regional secretary of the PD field: "We welcome the appointment held by the government, Undersecretary Bertolaso, director of the State authority figure and man of the institutions . His work in fruitful and sincere cooperation with the regional and local authorities, was intense and positive relationship with emergency interventions and urgent, that allowed to overcome the worst of the crisis, with the removal of waste from the streets. " Even noticing that the bulk of waste removal had already been made - with questionable methods - by former Commissioner De Gennaro under the Prodi government! E, Iannuzzi continues: "We have vigorously supported the choice of sites for the siting of new landfills and facilities necessary for a modern and complete cycle of waste management. Symbolically (sic) we have repeatedly said that auditors with the tricolor flag of the Democratic Party will never be alla testa di proteste popolari per contestare le decisioni… Ci siamo posti l' obiettivo di lavorare, nella conversione del decreto legge sui rifiuti” E’ il decreto che oltre ai quattro inceneritori e alle dieci discariche - tre delle quali persino Berlusconi è stato costretto a annullare, perché contrarie alla legge, alla salute e al buon senso – autorizzava le discariche campane ad accogliere anche rifiuti tossici – quelli fino ad allora sversati nei Regi Lagni del Casertano – e gli impianti di depurazione degli scarichi civili ad accogliere anche reflui industriali; smantellava gli impianti di separazione del secco dall’umido e di trattamento di quest’ultimo, perché tutto potesse finire negli inceneritori, whose capacity was oversized in order to avoid the collection, not yet allocated any funds for this - even if installed on the 2010 (already passed!) the target of 50 per cent - or for composting the organic fraction. Iannuzzi E bravo!

What continues: "It 's been the Democratic Party, with the amendment of the undersigned approved in the House Environment Committee, to facilitate the granting of incentives for energy plants Cip6 of Salerno, Naples and Santa Maria La Fossa. On this difficult issue of the Democratic Party MPs Campania have fought with courage and strength in the party and in the classroom discussion of grant, in extraordinary and exceptional contributions essential to overcome the many and major difficulties hindering us from the construction of incinerators. " Two years later he was one of the leading exponents of the PDL, Gaetano Pecorella, president of the parliamentary commission of inquiry into the presence of organized crime in the waste cycle, to explain the game of incinerators have been shut for some time: "[The energy plant is now] residual, because you must focus on the reuse of materials, the developing stage of recovery. And 'the target, for example, that in Germany to reach the 90 percent re-use. The future is this. " (Liberal, 20/10/2010).

Why then insist on incinerators? To cash out the annuity CIP6 incentives that the European Union has banned. And who cares if the waste remain on the streets for some ass again. Also pass on incinerators, flying low, substantial bribes in Campania on which the component of the PDL more directly linked to the Camorra is meddling with their assignment to provincial governments it controls. More than half in eliminating waste, the Camorra, as they have always supported the incinerator to the bitter end! Read, read more, the book The Plague of Tommaso Sodano. And finally, Iannuzzi is not a word about "redundancy" of the sector, which, for a party that should take care of workers, seems a serious oversight.

So if we get to this point (filled landfills, composting facilities and treatment (STIR, former CDR) closed or discarded waste collection, with a few notable exceptions, on the ground, groups and municipalities in debt up to their necks unable to initiate a virtuous cycle, thousands of workers at risk of dismissal) we owe not only to Berlusconi and Bertolaso, but also to the PD, in that matter (but not only) thinks exactly like them. Thus, among the choices of the Democratic Party stands out the management of Asia insane, the holding of municipal waste in Naples. Of course, the situation inherited by the management appointed by the Executive Iervolino early 2008 was not the most optimistic: almost zero waste collection, transportation and old non-functional, senior staff, largely in sub-contracting, lack - as elsewhere in the Campania region - of composting facilities, shortage of liquid resources and high indebtedness. But in two years the collection throughout the city could be organized. Dozens and dozens of committees, associations, parishes, and many municipalities were ready to lend a hand (and have shown some effectiveness during the worst days of the emergency). Salerno has been able to spend a year in 14 to 70 percent, Naples is still below 20, and proceeds step by snail è anche tornata indietro. Perché Asìa ha puntato tutto su quello che chiama “chiusura del ciclo”, cioè sull’inceneritore per bruciare tutto subito: prima cercando una partecipazione in quello di Acerra; poi aspettando quello di Napoli. Nel frattempo non ha costruito nemmeno una stazione ecologica per i rifiuti ingombranti (li potete vedere per strada in tutte le “cartoline” televisive di Napoli; nemmeno un impianto di compostaggio (per cui c’erano due progetti già pronti); ha avuto in gestione gli impianti di separazione secco-umido di Tufino e Giugliano: il primo quasi nuovo e il secondo (dove c’è stata anche un infortunio mortale) appena ristrutturato; e li ha mandati in malora. Now use part of the Santa Maria Capuavetere in the province of Caserta, running at full speed: which means that these plants can be refurbished. He managed insane, saving on waste spilled on the floor coverings, the landfill of Sari Terzigno, that now was correctly subtracted. So you do not know where spilled, and then can not even collect. Depends entirely on contributions by the provincial administration in the hands of the PDL of Cesaro and Cosentino, which, in view of the elections, have a vested interest in the situation to rot shift the blame to the Government "left" in Naples. Then there

the problem of ecoballe: nobody talks about it, but there is almost a billion of bank guarantees (as primary institutions of national importance) assigned to that pile of waste as were many barrels of oil (and it will become if a sufficient number of incinerators to dispose of them qualify for the incentives CIP6). But if they were to be disposed of elsewhere, for a fee, would be transformed into an astronomical cost of a few billion. So, until it has been clarified, to hold in abeyance the story of the waste in Campania, in addition to the Camorra and ineptitude of many local authorities, there will be a consortium of banks.

Finally there is the army, which continues to "guard" landfills and incinerators. The military services are paid (Ministry of Defence) as if they were on a mission to Afghanistan to risk their lives. But, by monitoring the landfill, they know where to take waste that many communities are forced to take to the street because they have access to reception facilities. So it's not uncommon to see teams of dozens of soldiers take a dump road would be enough for two people to sanitation. Even for this emergency will not end anytime soon.

Immediately, a solution to overcome the emergency (and then proceed immediately to all other points) would be: Saurino Park, in the province of Caserta and in land of the Camorra, there is an empty dump from 300 thousand cubic meters (expandable to 600). There for years and could even prevent the emergence of 2008, had it been made available. But it remained empty bell to dramatize the situation in which Berlusconi was leading his victorious election campaign. Now Berlusconi says that someone thwarts his plans. Knows what he speaks. Is there someone in his own party, keen to keep your hands on waste. He does not want levargli chestnuts from the fire to make him succeed in the new "miracle" until, at least, not have been given the keys of the entire waste cycle: beginning with the exceptions on the traceability of waste, which has so angered (pretend to) the pseudo Minister Prestigiacomo.
