Endless tragedies. Prevention and care of the territory in Italy are always low on the priorities. A beautiful country that is sick and without cures. What complacency we can feel being among the 10 world powers and seeing people die for climatic events what should we be used to by now? We suffer from indolence mixed with rhetoric.
52 storms have devastated the territories with great violence in recent days. When will we be able to say we were prepared? That the weather reports had warned us and the people were saved? A people cannot be satisfied with occasional words spoken every time heaven or earth turns upside down.
La Civil protection Italian is a model of efficiency and self-sacrifice, like the firefighters who in these hours have one man less. But it is the denomination itself that says it protects us (usually before) the irreparable happens.
What happened to the Climate Plan?
La Carian storm it didn't just hit Italy, but we were – once again – those who paid the highest price.
The Council of Ministers declared a state of emergency e Giorgia Meloni announced the allocation of 5 million euros for the most urgent measures. At the same time he rejected the criticisms of Elly Shlein on climate change denial. Some members of the League tried to remind us that it rains in autumn. 7 billion 700 million euros less for 2024, 10 billion 130 million less for 2025: these are the reductions for the Ministry of the Environment foreseen in the budget, denounces the CGIL.
Unfortunately, there are indeed correlations between such serious phenomena and disasters.
How many states of emergency have been declared in the last ten years? And in addition to the terrible cost in human lives, how much do we spend to clean up afterwards? How long? Questions open for 30 years. Even before.
Did the Prime Minister ask the Minister of the Environment what happened to the Climate Plan? Is Brussels still examining it? The Plan perhaps would not have spared us incalculable loss and damage, but we would certainly have known better what to do before (even shortly before) Ciaran arrived. You always have time to call Brussels.
