Military base in Pisa, the Region pushes for the Pontedera hypothesis. But the Northern League mayor: “It’s an opportunity, we don’t want to lose it”
On the one hand, interministerial meetings to decide above all what will be – and where will be built – the new base military gods Carabinieriinitially foreseen in Village of Coltanoin the province of Pisa, as established by Draghi government. On the other hand, it is an all against all politicians, between the Democratic Party and the right, with the Communist Refoundation rejecting alternative solutions as “propaganda”. Last week the Northern League mayor of Pisa gathered around the discussion table Michele Contithe president of the Region Eugenio Giani and a delegation of Ministry of Defence driven by Lorenzo Guerini. A face to face in which moments of tension were not lacking. Giani, who arrived a few minutes after the end of the meeting, took the floor and surprised Conti by declaring that there is a alternative piano to the construction of the base in the Coltano estate, or that the project can be transferred to Pontederain Isabella estatealways in the province of Pisa.
The weapon, together with a delegation from the municipal administration of Pontedera, seems to have made an inspection in the affected area before the meeting. The mayor did not take it well and replied that the project must remain in Pisa. He considers it, as he declares on the Facebook profile of the Municipality, “a ‘chance that the territory does not want to lose ”and relaunches the hypothesis Ospedalettoalready discussed in previous meetings between the parties, where he proposes to “create a structure in the meantime” and, at the same time, suggests continuing to “consider the regenerate of the village of Coltano, welcoming the willingness shown by the residents “. Refers to recent favorable opinions to the project by the Proloco of Coltano. The proposal of the president of the Bani Park Authority is also added, which would place the base inside the Cisamarea that is part of the Migliarino-San Rossore-Massaciuccoli Nature Reserve.
To date there are two cards on the table: the first Dpcm issued in January and the second issued in May. The January one foresees the construction of 440 thousand cubic meters for 730 hectares of fenced land within the Coltano estate. That of May is a “re-generation of publicly owned properties located in the hamlet of Coltano”. For the secretary of the Democratic Party Enrico LettaPisan, the Coltano knot seems to be solved: “Thanks to the work we have done as Pdand that at a national level I have decided on my shoulders, Coltano will no longer be the headquarters of this base and it is now that we will go to other places. We avoided that it took place inside the Natural Park. It seems useful to reiterate this and I thank the leaders of the Carabinieri who understood that it would not have been the right choice “.
The responses from the oppositions. The regional councilor of Brothers of Italy, Diego Petrucci, denounces: “We are literally thrilled by the proposal of the governor Giani who, at the discussion table between the Municipality-Region-Park-Ministry, launched the hypothesis of building the carabinieri base not in Pisa but in Pontedera. It is a proposal on the verge ofirresponsibility being aprivate area, in the municipality of Pontedera “. While for Communist Refoundation Letta’s is “yet another clumsy propaganda maneuver” to “try to stem one popular protest more and more widespread that in recent months has discovered and blocked his party’s plans to devastate our territory “, the national secretary wrote in a statement Maurizio Acerbothe Pisan secretary Giovanni Bruno And Ciccio Aulettamunicipal councilor “Rights in common”.
“To date, the project of the new base is firmly standing with two decrees of the President of the Council of Ministers to make it happen, as are the solidly standing 190 million that the government wants to take away from cohesive fundhow is standing – they underline – the proposal of the Borgo di Coltano as a place to ‘regenerate’ public buildings to deliver them to ‘eco-structure’ for war “. Meanwhile, with the new Pontedera hypothesis, the front of the does not widen. The Movement Without base, present in protest in the square in front of the Municipality during the meeting on 8 June, has already organized itself with the various Pontederese realities, including the La Rossa association, the Water Forum and the USB trade union. And new protest initiatives are ready.
