“The social declarations, the umpteenth, of the President Occhiuto on the Sin of Crotone, are surprising with respect to which he decided to be wary of the commissioner for the reclamation of the Site Errigo. Too bad that it was the Calabria Region, in 2024, to change the regional waste plan thus opening the doors to the possibility, for Eni, to dispose of dangerous polluting material of a former industrial site within the city “. This was stated by the deputy Anna Laura OrricoCalabrian coordinator of the 5 Star Movement.
“In fact – adds Orrico – in March 2024 the Calabria Region approved a new waste management plan in which new localization criteria were indicated for the identification of suitable areas for the waste treatment and disposal systems to be applied indifferently to urban and special dangerous ones. A vulnus on which he messed up and that led to the situation we are experiencing. In short, a late and instrumental exit that of the governor dictated by the need to be able to say something about the wave of indignation as Eni, endorsed by Commissioner Errigo, is refusing to do in Crotone coming to the previous agreements entered into institutional tables, or a reclamation that ensures far from the city, and from Calabria, the special waste “. “Occhiuto – still claims the M5S regional coordinator – should understand that the Calabrians understand well the difference between the narrative of their land which continues to convey from the bitter reality with which they must instead deal every day”.
Calabrian: “Orrico does not know what he is talking about, with the region of the region not even a kilo of more waste in Crotone”
“Mr Laura Orrico, as often happens to her, does not know the topic of which it speaks. The reality is precisely opposite to what – ignorantly – tells the deputy grillina. Thanks to the new regional plan on waste, approved in 2024 – the previous one dated back to 2016 – in Calabria it is not possible to open new landfills or proceed with the expansion of the existing ones. dangerous. and this measure has mainly defended the territory of Crotone, and the small municipalities of Crotone. allowed some excesses. For these reasons, the junta has decided to intervene to transform what was formal protection in substantial protection. The so -called ‘municipal pressure factor’ has been modified in a stringent way – we switch from 110,000 cubic meters of waste per square kilometer to the new limit of 70,000 cubic meters of waste per square kilometer – and a further level of protection was introduced, innovative compared to the previous floor, with the provision and identification of a ‘Areal landfill pressure’. While the ‘municipal’ one is calibrated on the administrative boundaries of the individual municipalities, the ‘Areal Factor’ takes into consideration larger areas thus avoiding an excessive concentration of landfills in the same area. These are the guidelines of our waste plan. And thanks to the so -called ‘Areal Factor’ in Crotone it is no longer possible or new landfills or expand existing ones. I repeat it, regardless of the treatment and disposal of urban or special hazardous waste: not even a more kilo of waste. Going to the story of the reclamation Eni Rewind in Crotone, perhaps not everyone knows that the Sovreco has an authorization released years ago – long before the Occhiuto government – and therefore preceding the update of the plan approved in 2024. Precisely for this reason Eni wants to go on in that landfill, and precisely for this reason the Region made use of the TAR last August and warned the commissioner erarcho a few days ago. Here, therefore, the only vulnus is in the ability of the Orrico to understand what is done: either he does not understand or – I wish me for her – uses the theme instrumentally “.
This is what Giovanni Calabrese, councilor for the environment of the Calabria Region says in a note.
