A meeting is currently underway on the issue of the TMB in Lentini. The regional councilors for energy, Roberto Di Mauro, and for the territory, Elena Pagana, the chief of staff of Palazzo d’Orleans Salvatore Sammartano, the general managers of the regional departments of Civil Protection Salvo Cocina, of the environment Patrizia Valenti, of water and waste Arturo Vallone, of Arpa Sicilia Vincenzo Infantino, as well as Domenico Baratta of the specialized technical commission for the release of regional environmental authorizations and the technical director of Sicula Trasporti, Marco Morabito, are present at the video meeting.
The summit, called by the President of the Region Renato Schifani, was necessary to find a solution after the announcement of the closure of the plant, starting tomorrow, by the judicial administrators of the management company, Sicula Trasporti. “All the offices of the Region – underlines the governor Schifani – have been mobilized to identify immediate solutions to the problems raised by the administrators of Sicula Trasporti, to whom we extend our thanks for the responsible and profoundly institutional dialogue. Even more, the Lentini affair confirms the strategic importance of the construction of the two waste-to-energy plants already financed by the Development and Cohesion Fund, whose operation will sweep away decades of erroneous policies on waste, the result of a lack of courage in strategic choices that should have been made previously”.
