Urban planning councilor Veloccia freezes the inhabitants of the lands included in the plan: “Whoever occupies them must return them”. Investments worth half a billion are at stake
The Capitol solution to the rebus Pietralatawhere AS Roma wants to realize the new stadium for the Giallorossinow move on from a decision-making approach: citizens who live in the areas expropriated by the Municipality twenty years agowhen the “Sdo” project was still standing, and which today are included in the stadium plan, will have to go, he writes The weather. “We are carrying out forced eviction measures – announced thecouncilor for urban planning, Maurizio Veloccia – because the agreement made twenty years ago with the owners, for restitution upon request, is not honored today”. In short, the residents don’t want to hear about packing and indeed, a few days ago one of them obtained an order from the civil court prohibiting Roma Capitale from accessing the land to allow the club to carry out the geognostic investigations and excavations necessary to draw up the final design of the facility. But the judge’s decision, far from discouraging the Capitol, seems to have accelerated the procedures. “The court – says Veloccia – he told us: you can’t go there and take them back, you have to take the necessary measures. And they were made in the form of a warning and an invitation to voluntary surrender. If this, as has been established, does not happen, Roma Capitale will have to do so through a forced eviction”. On the other hand there is an investment of over half a billion by AS Roma at stake and, in exchange, the Municipality should “only” grant the club the land for 90 years. Furthermore, in May last year, the Capitoline Assembly declared the public interest of the work. “Those are areas of Rome Capital, whoever occupies them must hand them back”, concluded Veloccia. This is an approach that the Capitol could adopt to effectively resolve other types of emergencies, for example that of large illegal occupations. However, in Pietralata there were evictions in the three inhabited areas they won’t be a quick operation: the Capitol expects resistance from the interested parties and a few days will not be enough to overcome it. Meanwhile, underground investigations are continuing in the areas not affected by the ordinance and the possibility that, from the ground, archaeological finds.
