| “The Municipality of Naples has imposed a new traffic block for Thursday due to the exceeding of the PM10 limit. The main cause, however, is not urban traffic but the pollution produced by the large ships docked in the port of Naples that are forced to keep their engines running due to the lack of electrification within the port. Despite the announcements by the Port Authority, there has been no concrete action. In fact, to tell the truth, there has also been a lack of responses to our requests, so much so that we have been forced to turn to the Ministry of the Interior. This is what the regional councilor of the Greens Francesco Emilio Borrelli and the municipal councilor of the Sole che Ride Marco Gaudini say. “The electrification of the port of Naples can no longer be postponed. The pollution produced by the engines of the ships has a negative impact on the health of Neapolitan citizens. We are turning to the president of the Authority Spirito asking him to intervene as soon as possible and to keep faith with the announcements. It is unacceptable that residents pay for the negligence of others." |
