The show is always the same. Only this time we are in Palermo and Naples.
4 thousand tons of garbage that accumulate on the streets, burned 200 bins, operators ecological society Amia that occur before the City Council and proclaim that the "white strike" (observation of strict labor regulations of the company).
But what is behind the usual images that testify to the mismanagement of waste at the Italian government?
Particularism, mafia and private interests pursued by exploiting the resources.
ETERNAL BUDGETS IN RED AMIA
that sparked the protest of the operators Palermo ecological debt is a worrying situation facing the financial statements of their firms: the Amia srl.
The current Chairman of the Board of Directors of Amia is Marcello Caruso, political PDL (one of many "men" belonging to the current Schifani-Alfano), appointed to office in December 2008.
But before December 19, 2008, another man of the PDL, Senator Enzo Galioto, ran for ten years, the Board of Amia.
In January 2009 Enzo Galioto was questioned by prosecutors in Palermo on two investigations for alleged accounting fraud (dating back to 2005 and 2006), Senator Sicilian has exercised the right to remain silent.
But if in 2007 the company's balance sheet showed a deficit of 31 million euro and the government allocates 80 million euro for the ricapitalizzaione company, now the hole is 150 million € and has seen fit to solve the budget in deficit by proposing to increase the tax on waste in the town of Palermo. Once again we would like to shift the dishonest management of public resources on the shoulders of citizens.
WHY 'A HOLE IN BUDGET 150 MILLION?
In the video of the press conference of the Palermo city council of the allegations of the opposition are clear: "a company that has been used should be the collective heritage of the city to increase the consent of Forza Italy. Still, "these companies were obliged by law to work only in the town of Palermo." In fact, between 2005 and 2006 Amia leaders leave for 22 missions, in Dubai in the UAE, "looking for some kind of tender to be awarded."
Hotels to 618 € per night, € 20,000 spent in hotels, restaurants and airline flights for three days. It even says on Repubblica.it that "the receipt shows that five officers would be reimbursed at the same time stay in two hotels in two different cities."
is how, in part, came to form a hole in the budget of 150 million euro. Managers spend 500 € for a lunch at the restaurant and who is thought to shift the debt?
citizens, of course. In proposing the increase in council tax on waste, thanks to the recent split in the party MPA (Movement for the autonomy of Raffaele Lombardo) by a majority, fortunately did not pass.
WORKERS: THE PARTY IS AT RISK
In all this are now ten days that the sanitation workers strike of Amia. The amount of garbage piled in the streets is such that it was required the intervention of the army and civil defense. But let's not forget that the "garbage workers' strike to protest the increase in the tax on waste, the risks that undermine their future salaries, compared to 1999 and contract renewals blocked against non-implementation of law 626 on security ( operators do not even have protective gloves). The site contains the following declaration of the Republic of the union of the beloved: "We we were against the increase in Tarsu, we want certainty. They are ready for instances of seizure of € 10 million towards the company, this means that 7.5 million, including salaries of workers, that the City will turn to her friend in June will be blocked.
Money that instead of ending up in the pockets of 2,700 workers of the Amia, are going to plug the hole in the budget caused by the dishonesty of a paltry handful of dirigentucoli.
