«It is important to clarify – underlines Sestito – that the Our choice is based on protecting the environment and everyone’s healthafter years of waiting for the failure to clean up by Eni and the complicit inactivity of many. It is a gesture of protest against Eni, which for more than twenty years has not assumed its responsibilities in the reclamation of Crotone, despite the contractual agreements stipulated”.
