, but today, in conjunction with your event is taking place in Vicenza regional initiative of PD in which my presence is essential.
a few weeks, I am aware of your problem and the debate that surrounded the project of revamping its facilities in Lower Italcementi Padua. The topic is particularly dear to me also as chairman of the Forum for the environmental policies of the Democratic Party.
I think that few have realized that what it means to live in the area of \u200b\u200bcement and what will the environmental consequences of this project for an area that suffers from decades of wounds, however, in an area that has particular safeguards. Those plants with high environmental impacts, such as cement, are incompatible with the Environmental Plan of the Park Hills Hills, which is a value on which to base a development compatible and consistent with its establishment and its purposes. In addition, the economic framework of the project involves an intervention of € 160 million. But this investment can be amortized as if there is already a reduction in production and a fall in demand and prices of cement? It runs the grave risk that to ensure the production process, waste of any kind are used as RDF or pet-coke, a toxic and harmful waste, which is considered a fuel thanks to a 2002 law. Its composition, including benzopyrene, a highly carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, oxides of sulfur and heavy metals such as nickel, chromium and vanadium. And as you know, cement is not subject, while burning waste, controls and emission limits for incinerators.
mobilization are engaged hundreds of citizens, committees and associations for the protection of health and the environment, but many governments of the region, some professional bodies and the parish pastoral councils who have taken a clear position. The formal request submitted by the committees "Let us breathe" and "What about us?", Last month the Italcementi has responded by threatening to sue those who had signed it. An unacceptable act of intimidation, which tends to prevent the right of expression and protection of citizens' interests conflict with those of the multinational cement. Revamping The opposition to the project has always been civil and open to comparison, while the other side there were only vilification and blackmail, including employment. The defense's job is not in any case regardless of the health of residents in the territories concerned. The theme of cement and deicoinceneritori affects the environment and at work, putting in conflict who favors one over another, matralasciando something that I consider to be the veroresponsabile of these tensions, the absence of regional policy. Personally I agree with the posizione che in questi ultimi giorni il Partito Democratico padovano ha sostenuto con grande coraggio, ovvero la sua contrarietà al progetto. Una posizione giunta dopo un ascolto del territorio. Quello che si dovrebbe sempre fare quando un problema riguarda la salute dei cittadini e la qualità della vita. Ovviamente rimango a vostra disposizione per ogni iniziativa che in futuro vorrete organizzare.
