"Today, we students of the Alfonso Maria De Liguori High School, together with the KAOS Coordination, occupied our school to end the silence on the biocide issue."
This is what the students protesting against the incinerator, Terra dei Fuochi, and biocide wrote in a statement.
Years ago, while our ruling class was trying to hide the truth, a few courageous doctors conducted counter-investigations, discovering that those born in our area suffer from a weakened DNA, condemning them from birth to a much higher probability of contracting and dying from cancer than citizens of any other region. In fact, Acerra is part of the "Triangle of Death," an area known for its significantly higher incidence and mortality rates for cancer than the rest of Italy., they explain.
And then they add: "After the Region allocated an additional €27 million for the incinerator—which could be invested in addressing the significant environmental, historical, and cultural issues affecting our area—we students became aware of the dramatic situation facing our city and felt the need to take over the school, a space of our own, yet open, to discuss and organize together against biocide, the climate crisis, waste incineration, and the Campania Region's ruling class, who place their profits above the lives of their citizens.
With this occupation we want biocide to return to the spotlight of the entire region, we want the demands of us students to gain strength and have a media impact that would otherwise be impossible. We demand a different management of waste disposal, based on reuse and recycling and on a circular economy of them;
We demand an end to ecocidal and deadly policies; we demand an end to the institutional silence regarding the tragedy of the Land of Fires. We want the national government and local institutions to provide us with the tools to leave environmental devastation behind us and the means to never have to face it again. This is precisely why we will all meet together on January 13th in Piazza Duomo at 16,30:XNUMX pm.
