L’bradyseismic emergency it’s not over, as demonstrated by the latest tremors felt today, July 2, from 3:10 pm, with the strongest one of magnitude 2.9. In a note Power to the People asks to reassemble the tent cities.
“The lack of a plan to manage the bradyseismic crisis and the continuous postponement of structural checks by the institutions have led to the situation we are in today. In fact, the checks began only after the 4.4 magnitude earthquake and led to the sudden eviction of over 1,300 people, who were offered unacceptable temporary accommodation in hotels miles away from the city and who will now receive paltry subsidies compared to rents in the area, while waiting to return to their homes,” it is written in the note.
“Furthermore, the administration, a few days after the end of the swarm, decided to remove the civil protection tents, essential protections in the worsening phase of the bradyseismic crisis, with the sole purpose of protecting tourism and commerce, putting economic interests before those of the inhabitants of Pozzuoli”.
Power to the People asks the inhabitants to Pozzuoli and of the Phlegraean Fields to take action and create a popular assembly on bradyseism and demand: dignified solutions for the displaced people, including requisitioning the structures in the area; a stop to mortgages, rents and utilities for uninhabitable buildings; the verification and safety of public and private buildings at the expense of the State.
To this end, a meeting has been called presidio for Friday 5th July at 6pm in Republic square inviting citizens to participate. “We will set up our tents to demand the restoration of civil protection facilities”.
