There Sicilian region does not show up for the mediation attempt on the issue of fires and so it goes class action. The judicial process has been opened for collective legal action to prevent fires. The initiative was promoted by the association Phoenix Island towards the Region and was scheduled this morning in Confmedia. The association announces that the Region, Land and Environment department, Forestry Corps command and Civil Protection department did not show up at the meeting and did not forward any communication.
“After having asked for a postponement of the mediation (the Civil Protection) to provide documentation – and having obtained 20 more days – the invited subjects did not participate, nor did they have the delicacy to communicate their lack of participation” declares the lawyer Alessandro Palmigiano who follows the case with his colleague Luca Panzarella. She joined in as well Licia Tavormina. “Unfortunately, this is the administration’s approach that citizens, who ask for their legitimate rights, have to deal with. The judicial process begins now” he states in conclusion.
Isola Fenice Objectives
The president of the Isola Fenice association also speaks, Bonetta Dell’Oglio. “Our objective is to ensure that those who have the duty to make Sicily safe from this environmental, social, human and economic massacre, which has been taking place for thirty years, simply do their duty. We remind those who turned their backs on their fellow citizens this morning that last summer’s fires caused damage amounting to 300 million euros, six people lost their lives, many citizens lost their homes and 62 thousand hectares of land went up in smoke. green. It is unfortunate that after those events, nothing decisive was done, so much so that the fires did not stop even during the winter and until yesterday the state forestry of Randello, in the province of Ragusa, started burning again, as on Nebrodi, in Agrigento and in the province of Palermo”.
