Waste emergency in Naples, is chaos

. Naples is in the grip of nearly three thousand tons of garbage and Terzigno back to the nightmare of the riots. Yesterday afternoon was found and defused three hand grenades near a meeting point of the committees against the waste disposal. The tension increased following the imminent reopening of the quarry Sari, closed Saturday for an order of the Mayor Domenico Auricchio, which interrupted the garbage depot. But the night passed without incident. There have been no spillage of garbage. The area was patrolled by committees of citizens who want to prevent the passage of trucks. The garrison lasted until the cold and rain have not had much of the demonstrators to go home.

The novelty is the notice that the Mayor of Terzigno has been registered under investigation for interruption of public service in order to contest the findings correlate with the landfill pollution of groundwater and waving that the recent analysis of ASL have declared false. Auricchio is ready to head back: "I care about the health of citizens, if the prosecutor says there are no risks, I have no reason to maintain the measure."
And if Terzigno may soon return to police vans and policemen to escort the return of the auto-compacting, Naples has the risk of being crushed in the garbage. Impressive mounds of bags blacks abandoned on sidewalks, only 2800 tons in the capital. Huge piles in the center, as we have not seen since January 2008. Mountains of garbage even in front of Villa Rosebery, the residence of the President of the State. The frantic rush to remedy the worst in the hole could produce patches. The manager of companies which collect the waste, under guarantee of anonymity, offers the following reflection: "In the day when the Berlusconi government decreed in Campania no need to landfills by deleting those few that were open, his Minister Raffaele Fitto at the State-Regions Conference asks the other governors the use of their landfills to help the Neapolitans.Where is the credibility of the government? So it's no surprise that Puglia, Emilia and the North say no waste from Campania. So he returned to play a card already used in the past: the junk ship abroad. During the era Bassolino the garbage war packed in trains to Germany. This time would have to travel by ship to Spain. As revealed by the newspaper "Il Mattino", they are working on an agreement between the Province of Naples, the A2A (the company that manages the Acerra incinerator) and an Andalusian. Objective: To carry in Spain 20,000 tons of wet fraction of the price per month for just a modest € 140 ( 210 CDA)per ton, including transport. Total cost per month: € 2 million and eight hundred thousand. More than 33 million (46.000.000 CAD) euro per year. Would pay for the Civil Protection. And so the stir, released by the humidity bloats blocking them, should return to work at full capacity to dispose of 9000 tonnes of rubbish abandoned on the sidewalks of Naples and province.
