Terra Fuochi: Mayors, Citizens and Bishop Sign Report to the Prosecutor's Office and It Will Be Addressed to the Judiciary and the Prime Minister.
Over thirty mayors of the Caserta and Naples municipalities falling within the so-called Land of Fires, together with the bishop of Aversa Angelo Spinillo and citizens' committees, signed, during a meeting held at the Palazzo Ducale in Lusciano, a complaint that will then be sent to the Public Prosecutor's Office of Naples North, competent for the territory, and to that of Naples, competent for environmental crimes, in which they ask to investigate the many waste fires, especially of an industrial nature, which make living conditions difficult especially in the summer season in the two bordering territories.
The mayors and the Bishop also ask “the immediate restoration of the violated conditions of legality and the desire to immediately call an inter-force table at the competent Public Prosecutor's Office in the presence of the citizens' Authorities”.
The complaint will also be sent to the President of the Council of Ministers, the Ministers of the Interior and Ecological Transition, the President of the Campania Region and the police forces.
“Despite the efforts made – adds the report – over the years, in order to combat the painful and sad phenomenon of malicious burning of waste, undoubtedly dangerous and harmful, fires that have occurred continuously, both day and night, in the municipalities located in the North Naples area and South of Caserta, the phenomenon has not stopped.
What has always happened between the Municipalities of Giugliano in Campania, Villaricca, Qualiano, Parete, Aversa, Lusciano, Trentola Ducenta, Teverola, Succivo, Cardito, Villa Literno, Carinaro, Caivano, Afragola, Acerra, Mugnano, San Cipriano d'Aversa, Casapesenna, Casal di Principe, Cesa, ... (for which, obviously, the Police and Fire Departments of the territory will be more descriptive, with appropriate reports) is potentially harmful to the health of the Citizens. It is quite evident that behind this criminal phenomenon lies an illegal market of waste disposal.
It seems useful to highlight that continuous exposure to fumes and fumes deriving from all that has been previously described, cause irreversible damage to health. The right to health, pursuant to Article 32 of the Constitution, has as its object the general and common claim of the individual and the collective claim of the community to living, environmental and working conditions that do not put this essential good at risk and implies, not only active situations of claims, but also the duty not to harm or jeopardize the health of others.
It is not subject to limits left to administrative discretion and is not susceptible to weakening. All this, unfortunately, seems to be denied for the Communities that live in the large area subject to the illegal acts indicated".
“It was not a political catwalk – says the mayor of Luciano Nicola Esposito, who hosted the meeting – but a testimony of the continuous commitment that we mayors of Caserta and Naples have been carrying out for years in the territory.
It is right to move forward all together, we did it when we went to Rome and asked the then Minister Costa for more police and cameras to control environmental criminals, and again when a few months ago in Caivano we signed the pact with Minister Carfagna, who financed many of our projects; and now all together, also with the Bishop and the citizens, we ask the judicial authority to give us answers, and tell us if all these fires are the result of vandalism, which we do not believe, or of an illegal waste disposal strategy".
