Thursday 23 May 2024hundreds of citizens of Andria took to the streets to demonstrate against the increase in emissions limits, and then arrived in Catuma Square where, over the megaphone, the reflections and concerns of representatives of the scientific world and the world of associations took turns on the installation of the telephone repeater in via Scipione l’Africanoon the outskirts of Andria.
The event, duly authorized by the Police Commissioner Fabbrocini, was also attended by Dr. Dino LeonettiThe Dr. Ninni Inchingolothe Councilor for the Environment of the Municipality of Andria, Savino Losappioand the person in charge of the event, as well as President of the Civic Engagement Association “Io Ci Sono!”, Savino Montaruli.
“What is happening, even in these hours in via Scipione l’Africano it’s something never seen beforealso from the point of view of failure to comply with workplace safety regulations” – he has declared Savino Montaruli during the long route of the procession, underlining the importance of the action undertaken by the mayors of some cities who, faced with the strong concern and uncertainty deriving from the increase in emission limits decided by the government starting from 29 April 2024 , they undertook a moratorium on installations, blocking them and in other cases they have welcomed residents’ concerns and stopped construction.
An ordinance in reality that “only a couple of mayors of small towns in Liguria – as the Environment Councilor states, Savino Losappio – they did, but which creates strong doubts about their legitimacy, as they are against a national law“.
“However, I express all my solidarity with the citizens – concludes Losappio – and I promise to bring the issue to the City Council, also acting as spokesperson for Anci Puglia in order to stimulate the other municipalities too“.
