"Berlusconi - said the exit of the meeting which was also attended by Undersecretary Bertolaso - was our last hope. He promised that tomorrow morning will be an extraordinary Council of Ministers to address the situation."
Berlusconi had already seen the mayor 20 days ago, on his birthday. "We had ensured that he would come to Terzigno, but then did not come," said Auriemma. "We oppose the decision was taken yesterday at the table of the summit of the PDL (government party) in which it was established that will continue opening the second dump, we want to know what happened and why administrators Campania before had said something and now tell another, "said the mayor.

"We - he added - we are not certain enemies who protest, we do our job. As a Terzigno must be spilled, we will ensure that this is possible even if it cost the use of force," he said.
The second landfill. To trigger a new wave of protests was the decision of the parliamentarians of the PDL Campania, along with Stephen Caldoro the governor and the presidents of the provinces of Naples, Avellino and Salerno, Cesaro, Sibilia and Ciriello, to give the go-ahead to the second landfill in the Park Vesuvius National, in places Cava Vitelli. It would be the biggest landfill of Europe. A green light that is not going down to the local administrators (mayor Boscoreale, Gennaro Langella, resigned from the PDL) and the people that denounce the very serious inconvenience already caused by the landfill first opened, the Sari, it would be because of 'pollution of aquifers and from which for months unbearable stench. At the end of the 'battle', on the ground are all kinds of debris in the air, the unbearable stench of the landfill.
The mayor of Boscoreale said: "He won the Camorra (camorra is the mafia of Naples area)." It has no doubt. "Who wants the opening of this landfill? But you have no idea what interest, the sums that will turn around this economic landfill?" He said before concluding: "It's definitely very serious that the institutions are made complicit in all this ".

And if the law provides for the opening of the new landfill Cava Vitiello, so it will be," he assured Caldoro in an interview with the Journal, the governor of Campania, which explains not prove " no embarrassment "to the fact that two of the three presidents of the province who have reacted harshly to the decision to send in their jurisdictions the waste of Terzigno are party comrades in the PDL. On protesting against the landfill, Caldoro said: "There's good people and there are people that are inherent to sow chaos with violence."
