"The people of Pozzuoli are not squatters." This was stated by the mayor of Pozzuoli, Luigi Manzoni, after the City Council approved a motion yesterday during the discussion on the guidelines for the new Municipal Urban Plan.
This agenda aims to clarify the statements of the Minister for Civil Protection, Nello Musumeci, on the contents of the new decree on Campi Flegrei.
"His accusations of widespread illegal building on municipal land are unjust and unacceptable.", said Manzoni, underlining that "all the eviction orders concerned properties that were legitimate from an urban planning perspective.
For approximately 40 years, Pozzuoli has had stringent regulations prohibiting all residential construction. The municipality has implemented modern land-use surveillance measures to combat illegal building for years and is among the most respected municipalities in terms of demolition rates.
The agency has always been committed to reducing population density, especially in the area most affected by bradyseismic activity.
For example, it firmly rejected a development plan for the former Sofer area, for the construction of 300 residential units, presented by a company linked to a member of the current government majority.
"The citizens of Pozzuoli - continued the mayor - they need concrete facts and loyal institutional cooperation.
Blaming them and local authorities for blame they have not forfeited risks undermining the concrete attention shown by the minister, at my urging, with the adoption of specific decrees that, for the first time, recognized bradyseism as a phenomenon of national significance."
