“It is unacceptable that the waste of the Since Crotone They go to the local landfill despite the opposition of the city institutions, social forces and civic committees. We are faced with an injury of the citizens’ right to participate in the choices on their territory, so serious as to have woke up even the president of the Calabria region, worried about losing votes “. This is what he says the MEP M5S Pasquale Tridicoabout theOrdinance of the extraordinary commissioner for the reclamation of the Sin di Crotoneagainst which a protest mobilization was called for next Saturday 12 April 2025, among others supported by the same exponent of the 5 Star Movement. «It surprises us – continues the MEP – The decision by the extraordinary commissioner, who instead had made very different reasoning. The provision tramples on the Aarhus Convention and article 9 of the Italian Constitution, which guarantee the right to participation and live in a healthy environment. We will continue to protect the Crotone community also with parliamentary acts, including a question of mine to the EU Commission and a new, to the government of the M5S deputy Vittoria Baldino “.
“The commissioner – says the pentastellato exponent – cannot degenerate into authoritarian initiatives that ignore the territory and impose solutions contrary to the principle of precaution and any logic of transparency and sharing”. So he reiterates “the need to start a real reclamation of the site, with the involvement of universities and the scientific community, in compliance with the principle according to which the polluting pays”. «I ask – concludes Tridico – the immediate revocation of the ordinance in question. The community of Crotone must be returned the possibility of self -determined and ensuring true environmental justice. Calabria can no longer be treated like a landfill ».
