President Lorenzo Dellai province officially declares that there will be a rethinking of the project to build a military citadel in the south of Trento. Those citizens who did not give up but you are organized and have tried to show the senselessness of the project and the lack of transparency around the project by the province, cheered.
The spontaneous committee of citizens born in Mattarello almost two years ago has collected and deposited more than a thousand signatures to the Provincial Council in April 2009 and is still awaiting a vote on the nine issues raised.
The Committee showed:
· that the trade pact State-Province is not beneficial to the community but is only a small part of it;
· that the whole operation was conducted with little transparency on the part of the Autonomous Province of Trento, which has been exaggerated by using the secret of how to "cover" to circumvent the legitimate control of the citizens;
· the Province is not complying with the environmental standards on Environmental Impact Assessment.
Despite these issues there was a small opening to dialogue by the executive committee that defined the "late". The non-violent action and documented the committee of citizens of Mattarello was realized when the true scope of the project is out of the closet.
Well, the statement May 25, 2010 President Dellai shows two things: •
can rethink the project, so it is too late •
argument has perhaps some of the fundamentals and deserves attention.
The government propaganda spread so far gave untouchable for arrangements between the State, Province and Municipality of Trent but now, when funds become scarce, and it suits the Province raise the stakes in national negotiations, we call into question. This shows the lie hidden in the propaganda of the Province.
Now that you look back on the project (project cost only € 2 million) then the citizens will not be late in asking:
• control of costs and benefits
• Compliance with environmental impact of military downsizing on
• soil • Trentino
use to protect the autonomy of the territory
• transparency and real participation in the decisions of the executive.
to take stock of the situation and to assess the next steps and pressure control reached the Autonomous Province of Trento, the public is invited Monday, June 14 at the multipurpose hall, downtown St. Vigilio, a rolling pin at 20.30.
This evening the committee will demonstrate how to EUR 1 million for military spending beyond democratic control.
the meeting are invited provincial councilors who want to move to any iniziativa per il controllo o contrasto della cittadella militare.
