The Regional Council approved with 35 votes in favor the Motion for the identification of a single management body of the Monte Faito Complex that, equipped with an economic budget, so that it can operate on the basis of clear planning, constant actions of design, financing, execution and verification of protection and enhancement interventions, as the territory requires, presented by the councilors of the FI group, first signatory the councilor Flora Beneduce. Some amendments signed by councilor Luigi Cirillo (M5S) were also approved, aimed, among other things, at repairing the road connecting Monte Faito and Castellammare. The Finance Commissioner Antonio Marciano intervened on the topic, highlighting the positive aspects of an action that aims to enhance the mountain and that requires institutional collaboration to have a truly operational impact. For this reason, the Democratic Party representative proposed its withdrawal to address the issue in broader and more operational terms. Councilor Ciarambino recalled that the issue was the subject of a hearing in the Transparency Commissions and that it is a victim of the total immobility of the Metropolitan City. Councilor Francesco Emilio Borrelli highlighted that the motion is acceptable but requires a greater perspective in terms of strategic organization; Councilor Longobardi also underlined the importance of the problem and invited Councilor Beneduce to withdraw the motion to present a more complete one shared with the majority. On the contrary, the FI group leader Armando Cesaro urged its approval, while the M5S councilors Tommaso Malerba and Luigi Cirillo urged the resolution of the problem with respect to which the approval of the motion is a first step. Regional councilor Luigi Cirillo from Castellammare di Stabia highlighted in a note: “With our amendments to the motion for the identification of a single implementing body for the enhancement of Monte Faito, approved by the Regional Council chamber, we have committed the council to planning urgent interventions to secure via Quisisana, the only access road that connects Castellammare with Monte Faito. An intervention that we have been calling for for some time, with various institutional acts, and that today more than ever we consider necessary, fearing a new forest fire emergency and the repetition of a paradox on the skin of citizens. Last year, in fact, in light of the fires that also hit and devastated this area, the firefighters were forced to evacuate the residents through Via Quisisana, even though it was closed to traffic due to a serious hydrogeological instability and the danger of landslides. As many as six hundred residents crossed this road, with serious risks to their safety, as it represented the only possible route, taking into account that the fire had made the other access road that leads from Monte Faito to Vico Equense impassable. After a long debate in the chamber we managed to convince a majority inclined to withdraw the motion, underlining the need for an act of responsibility by the Campania Region aimed at redeeming the total ownership of the area, currently equally divided with the Metropolitan City. The aim is to identify a single management entity, financing an intervention functional to the reopening to traffic and the reclamation of via Quisisana, which in addition to the danger of landslides adds a state of abandonment that has led it to become an open-air garbage dump”. Regional councilor of Forza Italia, Flora Beneduce, enthusiastically welcomes the approval: “The approval of the motion that identifies a Single Manager of the Monte Faito complex constitutes a turning point for its valorization. It is a fundamental change of pace that comes after a decade-long succession of approvals and revocations of Memorandums of Understanding - he stated - the last one is from 2015 and has not even been signed, which have had the sole result of leaving an area of absolute naturalistic value in a state of total degradation and abandonment". “Questa mozione – ha spiegato – e’, naturalmente, un atto di indirizzo politico, ma siamo certi che dara’ un definitivo impulso alla chiusura di procedure amministrative mai portate a termine per giungere ad una soluzione finalmente adeguata alla gestione di Monte Faito, condizione imprescindibile per una seria riqualificazione e rilancio dell’intero complesso”.
