Gallo (M5s): 'Immediately block the works on the cisterns in Torre Annunziata'

“The Archaeological Superintendency of Naples has given an unfavorable opinion on the release of the landscape authorization for the expansion of the hydrocarbon deposits in Torre Annunziata (Na). It is a very important element that could finally block an impactful work, capable of putting the health of citizens at risk due to the presence, already ascertained, of pollution from harmful substances”. This was announced by the president of the Culture Commission of the Chamber of Deputies, Luigi Gallo, who followed the story of the Isecold tanks together with the senator of the 5 Star Movement and member of the Environment Commission of the Senate, Virginia La Mura. Gallo has already brought the story to parliament, with a question signed by him sent to the ministers Sergio Costa, Alberto Bonisoli and Matteo Salvini to ask the government to verify the state of the places and the water table and to take initiatives to prevent Isecold from extending its facilities to the port of Torre Annunziata. “We have submitted requests for access to documents that have allowed us, despite resistance from local institutions, to obtain this information that we have immediately shared with citizens,” Gallo explained, announcing that he then “delivered a dossier to the Minister of Cultural Heritage Alberto Bonisoli, who has been interested in the case for a week and will intervene as soon as possible.” “Bonisoli shares our view,” Gallo continued, “that of respecting the UNESCO document that identifies the port area of ​​Torre Annunziata as a strategic hub of the Pompeii buffer zone. Expanding the hydrocarbon deposits means handing over our sea and the tourist vocation of that territory to a shameful speculative project. In this affair there is someone who is cheating but we have managed to reveal the cards and directly involve the government in this affair.” “We must stop this outrage, making room for an important work of reconversion and redevelopment of the site, included in the district of the Great Beauty in the Unesco Buffer Zone of Pompeii which will soon be on the table of the Mibact”, he concluded.
