In recent days, the Council of State has reiterated its line of firmness regarding the beaches and establishing that tenders will be called, as required by the EU. A topic that has raised much discussion among politicians and on which the regional coordinator of -Europa Mauro Gradi intervenes.
“Given that I am not and have never been against beach resorts – declares Gradi – in light of the latest, I would say fatal, sentence of the Council of State (sentence no. 3940/2024 “Municipality of Rapallo”) which confirms the immediate mandatory of the tendering of beach concessions (Bolkestein directive), it is curious that the Mayor of Borghetto Santo Spirito, a municipality which holds the negative record of free beaches, stands out as a champion of the equation “lack of law = problem of public order”. free equipped, 14%, well below the legal threshold (LR 28/4/1999 n. 13) which requires at least 40% of the coastline to be bathable, therefore, of the beaches to be actually usable”.
“Soon, on the occasion of a specific regional conference, we will publish the black list of the municipalities in Liguria (quite a few) below the minimum legal limit of 40%”.
