CROTONE «Finally, after years of silence, the issue of the reclamation of the Crotone industrial site is being addressed in a serious and determined manner»: this is how Antonella Rizzo’s reflection begins. According to the activist «it is done away from easy populism, from the demagogic tones typical of the new “masaniello”, from the mystification of otherwise irrefutable data. It is done with a Committee that brings together women and men of different political and institutional orientations and paths and cultural, but united by the common good of protecting the health and defense of our territory. In this important and demanding battle we do not start from scratch, but from a fundamental point established by the Decision-Making Services Conference of October 2019 held at the Ministry of the Environment. I would still like to remind you that that Services Conference, thanks to the active role of the Calabria Region, with President Mario Oliverio, of the Municipality and the Province of Crotone led by Ugo Pugliese, made its own the Paur constraint (Single Regional Authorization Provision, ed), or the removal and disposal of poisons at authorized landfills outside Crotone and Calabria. I would like to proudly point out that that document, which arrived after three years of intense discussion with ENI, also bears my signature. It was a battle with a multinational that is certainly not used to the synergy between the institutions that for the first time appeared united in the defense of the territory and the health of citizens. Other than “Poison Hill”! The truth is that today we are trying in every way to remove that very constraint, so much so that it was necessary to set up a Committee, which I joined, to prevent this from happening. I also like to remember that at that time a Legality Protocol was also signed between the Municipality, Region, Province and all the employers’ and trade unions’ associations, at the Prefecture of Crotone in the presence of HE the Prefect Cosima of Stano, to prevent infiltration attempts by the organized crime, in relation to the reclamation of the site. Anyone who today tries to fish in the turmoil by trying to create misinformation and confusion should, due to the role he holds at the helm of the city, worry about enforcing those decisions and forcing Eni to comply with the decisions assumed rather than arguing with us. I would like to remind you that the counterparty is not us, but is called ENI and every political and institutional effort and action should be concentrated in this direction. In this battle it is essential to be united in defense of the values of life and health. Diversions are only useful to those who want to escape their responsibilities and allow them to profit at the expense of citizens, to the detriment of our city.”
