He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himVilla Adriana it could be safe. The clash on the Corcolle landfill, a stone's throw from the archaeological site UNESCO heritage, had its effects and the prefect of Rome Giuseppe Pecoraro who had chosen the site as the one suitable to replace Malagrotta, leaves his office.
Appointed Commissioner for the waste emergency in Rome in September by the Berlusconi government and reconfirmed in December by the Monti government, he finally bowed to the threats of resignation announced yesterday by the Minister of Cultural Heritage Lorenzo Ornaghi who was absolutely opposed to Corcolle's choice, especially in light of his inspection yesterday.
With Pecoraro probably (and we all hope so) the danger for the imperial residence of the early XNUMXst century BC.
“The Prefect Giuseppe Pecoraro - one explains Government note - decided to confirm his resignation from the post of Delegate Commissioner for overcoming theenvironmental emergency in the territory of the province of Rome. The Council of Ministers acknowledges to the Commissioner that he has acted with absolute correctness, in compliance with the procedures, and with commendable personal commitment". Considering the extreme urgency of proceeding with the identification of the site of the landfill necessary to solve the integrated cycle management problem some waste of the Capital, the Council of Ministers therefore decided to confer the task on the Prefect Goffredo Sottile.
“The Council - it continues - has also shared the considerations of environment Minister, Corrado Clini, who highlighted the chronic responsibility of the competent Administrations unable to take adequate decisions and effective measures to ensure the compliance with European directives and national laws on waste management ". In short, Pecoraro cannot, and must not, be a scapegoat.
Now, however, the waste emergency in Rome is one step away from the abyss. The new Roman waste disposal site, which the prefect Giuseppe Pecoraro intended to replace Malagrotta, whose closure is scheduled for June 30th, there is no more. We rejoice. Villa Adriana could be saved. But Rome, soon, will not be able to escape the invasion of thousands and thousands of bags of waste that will end up on the street. The president of the Region, Renata Polverini, has already said in the past that she will not sign another extension to the Malagrotta landfill. In short, Corcolle must say no, but an alternative choice is needed. But focus onincrease in recycling from separate collection it seems to be a distant mirage here in the capital.
