Waste undemocratic. In Campania, the land of confrontation-conflict democratic passes through the waste disposal plan. Surely there are other wounds on the ground, the crisis of the industrial unemployment, by the mafia to illegal, from black to work housing problems. But it is now full-blown war of the bags, which creates fractures exists between people and institutions, which contrasts not only citizens of the state, but also becomes a state against state.
Fourteen years of commissioner to handle an emergency is a paradox. They know the special commissioners and governments that have followed, they know the local authorities, but do not have the courage to admit guilt and responsibility. In all this time they have always sought to privilege the interests of private, as opposed to the common good. That is not the landfill Serre - you want to open at any cost in the shelter of a protected natural oasis - to be representative of the relationship cycle waste-profit industry, but the Acerra incinerator. The plant should be ready in October 2007 and in the new plan just approved by the Council of Ministers would be part of the two incinerators that should solve the case-Campania. But it is not.
10 million ecoballe
There are currently 10 million ecoballe that the ministry does not consider the environment in accordance with, and then you can not burn. Cdr still in the material is not stored according to the procedures for incineration. The separate collection and stops at 10%. Have not yet been identified for special landfills where "bury" the result of burning ash, highly toxic materials. Not to mention who is doing the work: the Fibe, currently listed as the only responsible for not disposing of waste in the region and investigated for fraud. The company sees that the shareholders of the Impregilo Cesare Romiti is in fact able to spend from '94 to now, more than 800 million euro without coming to the crisis. Yet at the time its proposal was not the best. In fact, the company won the tender with the facilities are so dilapidated that judiciary, laid a hand seized, and with a project, the Acerra incinerator of fact, which earned him 27 tasks required by the ministerial committee. But there was nothing to do. The police had to anticipate the company 100 billion lire for the construction of facilities of RDF that judges have later judged inadequate and impounded. The prosecutor of Naples has also demanded the confiscation of all'Impregilo € 43 million and debts, for 109 million that the company should collect from the region and from various towns. Finally, the Senate Environment Committee of the Fibe have also entered into agreements with persons on the land of stockpiles criminals. For all this Campania has been the termination of the contract, but after two tenders almost desert is still the same company to manage the cycle.
In 1999, after the plan of the then president of the region Rakes (An), when the Fibe wins the tender for the construction of an incinerator gets carte blanche on the indication of the site. The institutions, therefore, wash their hands on a delicate business and community importance. The company uses an intermediary to Afragola, who bought the land from the peasants of Acerra at bargain prices and resells them to Fibe. It 's all decided, without consulting the local administration and without even having the EIA (environmental impact) you want to start "working." Nationals are alarmed. Acerra is an area already beset by industry, here is Montefibre, not counting the illegal dumps that have created a short circuit environment. Dioxin in the soil has reached alarm levels in the milk of animal testing they found the presence of: 54 picograms per gram of fat when the acceptable level is 3. Committees created the first anti-incinerator. "At first we were a few," says John De Laurenti, currently secretary of the PRC citizen and who was then 20 years. "The positions were different - more - there were those who simply stated that the plant should not be built in Acerra, who was opposed to this type of incinerator, the most largest in Europe, and those of us who were against the idea of \u200b\u200bincineration pursuing an anti-capitalist culture. We were fighting against the principle of a system that makes you consume and then burn what you eat. "
was born on the committee against the incinerator, to live inside various anime, parties, the movement, the area of \u200b\u200bthe unemployed, but soon the whole town is identified in this fight. The first year we try to tackle the project data in hand. They wonder audits and environmental compatibility. The local health authorities, however, gives the green light, the harp no. Throughout 2002 the committee promotes marches and protest actions. On January 27, 2003 must begin the work, it was decided by mutual agreement with the administration of the center-right to force his hand. Together with Mayor Michael Riemma (Fi) occupy the Acerra site. Is created in a playground, an organic vegetable garden, the sheep are raised symbol of environmental degradation. The virus spreads through the town of participatory democracy, the principle of re-appropriation of the territory: concerts, events, debates which involves both internationally renowned scholars such as Professor Paul Connet. But the special commissioners, to be the first to Bassolino bolts later, do not want it to let go. It attempts to show the selfishness of a small village that implements the logic of not in my backyard, not in my backyard. But in 2004 a researcher at the CNR, Alfredo Mazza, reports a study in the journal Lancet that leaves little doubt about what is happening in the province of Caserta and Naples Camorra on the management of illegal waste. In the triangle Acerra, Nola, Marigliano because of toxic materials in soils and aquifers is in fact the surge in cancer mortality and the increase in cardio-circulatory diseases and diabetes. In May of that year Espedito Marletta (PRC) becomes mayor with more than 75% of the vote thanks to the hard line against the incinerator. On August 17 the yard near Pantano was cleared. The megainceneritore will. On 29 August at an event with over 30 thousand people in front of the site of the police and carabinieri Fibe receive the order to quell the crowd. It 's a day urban warfare in Acerra, the balance between injured and arrests will be very high. Even the mayor Espedito Marletta and Senator Thomas Sodano are batons and taken to hospital. From that moment never to set foot in the Acerra site.
"A battle of survival"
"But we have not given up - said Thomas Edwards, spokesman for the committee - let's move on to other roads. Here it is implementing the freezing of democracy. A community has the right to choose their own future. Ours is not a selfish position, but a battle for survival. " Professor Antonio Marfella, Pascale's oncologist, agrees to Acerra: "They want to build an incinerator by 2000 tons per day, most of Paris - he said - is evident that the area already damaged will not be reclaimed, in a country where there is 84% \u200b\u200bmore malformations in children, between Naples and the province of 2 million people out of 6 have an excessive level of dioxin in the body, because certified by the region. " But there is another solution? Separate collection and recycling. Aversa is Erreplast factory that recycles plastics and metals, is at the forefront and is likely to close for lack of orders because you have chosen the way of incinerators, as well as the paper mills that could recycle the paper. The people now understand that there is no other way for the safe disposal, so they rebel Bertolaso \u200b\u200band the government. "We knew it would be a long and difficult battle - admits the mayor of Acerra Espedito Marletta - a clash between state power. We are going forward to appeal, we are not resigned. " Until October 2007
