Mr Grimaldi, in '97 she was Councillor for the Environment and Territory Region of Sicily. Can you confirm or deny whether inside the mine discharged Pasquasia of radioactive nuclear waste are stored? "I tell now that is certainly not for me to say whether there are Pasquasia waste. There is judicial authority that is carrying out work as it should be in collaboration with the Guardia di Finanza of Caltanissetta to clarify, I hope, finally, on this big risk that people are running dell'ennese and Nissen. In 1997 I had to declare my major concern because on a survey that was conducted by the oncologist Cammarata on cases of leukemia and cancer, had been a certain increase in their concern. So, we started work on mine Pasquasia and not only mine Pasquasia; I had to denounce the whole of Sicily was likely to be turned into a dustbin of Europe. I denounced the presence of asbestos in the whole province, in abandoned quarries and other sites. I remember that an investigation was opened, but that investigation did not lead to absolutely clarify doubts and misgivings, and especially the concerns of the population Enna. I was even considered a person who wanted to create unnecessary alarm. But the alarm was not me creating it, but the data were of concern to cancer mortality in a province, in a city like Enna, where, since there are no industries or particular reasons of pollution compared to other provinces or territories of Italy, these data were very, very worrying. "
Your Department his management, then, this complex matter related to the alleged presence of Hazardous Wastes within the mine? "I tried, then, with all my strength to shed light on this fact, but objectively I must say, I acted almost alone. I declared it at the time and still supports it even now: I have found beside the institutions and political forces. What worried me very much to the point that when I heard the prosecutor had to declare in Caltanissetta, remember, my great concern in the feel isolated in carrying out this battle was not a political battle but it was a battle of a responsible man, who had an important role in the Region of Sicily with the task that I had been awarded by the President of the Region. I remember that then came to me from Rome, the commanding general of the NOE, the Nucleo Operativo Ecologico Carabinieri, who confirmed to me that he was convinced that Pasquasia contained in the inside of radioactive waste. The ecomafia at that time was the protagonist in the Italian territory, mainly in the Sicilian. I'm sure that when the Attorney General to support anti-Mafia Vigna was on television that the declaration of repentance Leonardo Messina on Pasquasia was a credible statement, confirmed my hypothesis, the idea that I argued. But then it all fell the most absolute silence. " Hon George, You mentioned ecomafia and referred to the repentant Leonardo Messina ... "I did not refer me, but so did the Prosecutor Vigna.
As is clear from those confessions, Messina would have spoken of a possible involvement of intelligence services in the business in the '80s and Pasquasia SISDE agents would then contacted the local authority to request authorization to mine buried in the military equipment. Ecomafia, it should be well, but there are probably also dealing with a possible involvement of the institutions themselves? So there was and those who knew and knows perhaps in Italy? "I do not feel like going into the merits of the issue but certainly then, over the same Italian state, other European states had an urgent need to find suitable sites to place their waste. Since other sites in Europe were already sold out, and was therefore not possible to transport and bury the waste, you chose mine Pasquasia as the most suitable for this purpose. But the serious thing, you see, is that too much overlap. A mine that could give so much more work for many years, for decades, was inexplicably closed and the matter is serious. There are two positions. There is an opinion that claims that the mine Pasquasia could still produce only a few years and review, more technical, says that instead of decades, the mine could still be exploited. The mine was closed, but suddenly it is not clear to date because it can no longer reopen. All this certainly makes us think that there were different interests. "
you, Mr Grimaldi, in '97 he was in the middle of an unpleasant episode so much that he discussed during a session of the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry into the Mafia. The Hon. Micciche was in that audience to argue that she had personally tried to enter the mine Pasquasia, now closed and in a complete state of abandonment, to ascertain what was happening but that was physically prohibited.
"When I tried to enter Pasquasia with technicians, with experts in my department, I had great difficulty in accessing it, because they did not want to enter the television. They would not, in any way that you could see the wells. Then when I managed to get inside the mine, the strangest thing I saw was one of those wells, which they called the fresh air vents or large and deep more than 15 meters in diameter, was loaded with material that surely had been transported into the mine to close, to plug in a definitive way that mouth. And the material is thrown in as may occur randomly in a mine temporarily closed, as when someone sees a stone and throws it inside. This is a matter of shooting loads of material which have thrown in then specifically to bury and hide something. " About TIR. If radioactive material has been downloaded in the mine, certainly were used special trucks and in any case, under close supervision. It is possible that nobody ever saw them move in the streets Sicily or reach and enter Pasquasia? It is possible that nobody has heard anything or seen anything? The mysteries pasquasiaci at this point seem to be really indecipherable.
"Someone is bound to have seen and so there are definitely great responsibility. We also did the investigations and the surface has revealed the presence of radioactivity. But then, this thing was closed, it was shelved. Now the Prosecutor's Office of Caltanissetta and the Guardia di Finanza of Caltanissetta for months now carry out an investigation Pasquasia. This certainly worries us and at the same time makes us proud because at last something serious is moving. The GdF supervise the mine 24 hours, night and day, to prevent anyone from entering or may create any further environmental damage. The presence of yellow flame and the investigation that the prosecutors are conducting with great seriousness and with great commitment, is to assume that, in fact, there are great responsibilities that must be immediately clear. Because, you see, everything in life can be admitted, except that playing with people's lives. This what I think the political class as well as all citizens should be very careful, very careful. We are confident and looking forward to discover the enormous damage that so simply, by someone, it was done in the past. " Only when you have the absolute certainty of the presence of nuclear containers inside the mine, you can then start thinking of reclaim. But how could conduct its land reclamation? "In Europe, when they bury drums containing nuclear waste, then throw him over the salt so that they can eventually cause damage. But I am convinced that, over time, chafing plate of these bins, the waste can contaminate groundwater and cause great concern. To reopen Pasquasia must first understand what is the damage that has been done and what is really there in the mine. ENEA had created an underground bunker to do the experiments and would now charge that the presence of radioactivity in exactly those experiments was then done. How should reclaim this Pasquasia really do not know, but then reclaiming Pasquasia would give work to hundreds of people for many years and this is the ultimate goal. But first we must make things clear, firm action and prosecute those responsible before moving to the stage which could be the exploitation of salt. " But you know very well, Mr George, that's not mine is almost nothing. The wells are blocked and all plants are now out of use. Under these conditions, how could Pasquasia never reopen?
"There are great responsibility, because there were very efficient machines. There was an obligation, on completion, to deal with the maintenance of the machines at any moment because the mine had to be reopened. The truth is that this mine is served, first, to provide work and employment for many families and, then, has served to enrich someone who ran the mine. " If enclosures with radioactive substances were actually buried in Pasquasia, perhaps under stress of any foreign state, for example, which is located in France need to dispose of their nuclear waste, will now be in some place that maybe it will be very difficult to discover and achieve. Now, for the remediation, you need to know exactly where the containers are buried. The interior is vast Pasquasia. Do not you think, you, Mr Grimaldi, who may know the place to be maybe in some secret underground store of the security services in Rome? "The equipment we have today that can enable us to get really close to where they are buried waste because the presence of radioactivity is reported. Once reported the presence of radioactivity, But the real problem that arises will be to enter the mine because its state of abandonment ... with closed wells ...
"since there had been more proactive, I hope not, but I think so, proper maintenance, it is now easier to enter the mine because it would be very dangerous. And all this, I think, can connect with all that, if necessary, according to my predictions, it was made in the past. The disregard of the ordinary maintenance as needed in order to avoid that one day you could get inside and understand what really happened. I am convinced that the truth, in the end, will miss out because I saw the great effort that the Guardia di Finanza is developing for clarification. I believe that you will arrive at the truth. The real problem is that while we should start thinking as if power clean, but not only from the dross. As in all the quarries, also has been a haven Pasquasia other hazardous materials, toxic as asbestos. Some time ago I had occasion to denounce the presence of asbestos in the cars abandoned rail station Dittaino, near Enna, and even at that time I was almost criminalized. Now, finally, they all realized that there. May be considered, we in the province of Enna, as people more and more good good of Italy and Sicily, maybe they can make us miss the job, but absolutely can not keep us with the danger on the head, can not possibly kill us. " For Enna dies abnormally high and there are several suspicious deaths. The danger, as you said, really rests on the head, even health of Enna. The high concentration of antennas and repeaters telephone - radio - television in the district of Montesalvo, for example, is causing no little concern. The area was declared a high risk area and was recently included among the 152 Italian sites responsible for producing electro-smog. The Public Prosecutor's Office and the Deputy Dr. Enna. Salvucci, collaborated by men of the Guardia di Finanza of Enna, from 1999 are investigating about it, even to ascertain whether there were and there are responsibilities. And the mayor has decided recently that Prof. Ardic antennas Montesalvo should either be moved to other sites away from housing, or will be obscured. "Even for this measure Ardic, made in the interests of their communities, we saw, once again, these environmentalists and institutions. So, I think we have now decided that in Enna, inevitably, we must shorten our lives. But I say that we must fight for our lives, for our survival, to ensure we can arrive at a certain age without disease and without major health problems. This very courageous decision of the Mayor Ardic has been underestimated, if not prevented. " But Dr. Salvucci has recently declared that the order of the Mayor, to do obscure the antennas, was magnificent and he admires the Hon. Ardic for what he did and how it is handling the situation. "the judiciary should extend a heartfelt thanks for what he is doing and why has shown great sensitivity to the environmental problem. Is This a problem we all, from simple national political class, the Judiciary Police forces, begin to focus on most, because in a sick, no doubt, we are all bad. In a healthy environment, however, we can finally begin to hope that our children can live a different life. The Prosecutor's Office is working very well. I wish that even environmentalists, who are sometimes the battles are important to them, serious, interesting, for example, those for the circuit Pergusa, stock or does not, but when it comes to major problems such as antennas Montesalvo area, the mine Pasquasia, asbestos thrown everywhere, close your eyes nicely. Instead, apriamoli eyes on more serious things. The Autodromo Pergusa must continue to exist because not only is part of the history of Sicily, but because he was born, we must not forget, the first of the reserve. On reserves all eyes are, because maybe there are other interests to move the circuit from Pergusa. Hon George, I want to remind you that during the hearing of the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry into the Mafia, which first was discussed and in which there was discussion of the likely waste of Pasquasia, Dr. Realacci, president of Legambiente, also had to defend it. "Yes. Yes Legambiente. I say at once that I first found only close friends of Legambiente. All other associations remained completely silent. Legambiente objectively I was near the top. But then he also forgot Legambiente this great problem of our city and our province. " would like to thank you for what you said. It was very clear about his positions as a politician. In conclusion, I want to do the same initial application, however, the ordinary citizen Ugo Grimaldi: there are or there are no nuclear waste radioactive Pasquasia?
"From a citizen, I say who are worried and are convinced that they're there and that there is danger. As a politician, however, I would not say this because someone else could also exploit my political statement. From a simple citizen, I am convinced and are thus worried, very worried. "
Finally it comes to turning and getting to the heart of the reconstruction of roads and schools. We talked with the president of the province, Pippo Monaco, who has done this before a lot of reviews on what has been the work of the year that has passed. "A year's exodus-Monaco-heavy because of the cuts and a exhausting bureaucracy that worsens an already difficult situation for funds that do not come. " Then he spoke of the "virtuous path started" his administration "covering a whole range of things that in previous years had planned." "For the road-said, although 296 of the Act provided funding for our province more than EUR 100 million, later reduced to 38, we are at an advanced stage for the reconstruction of many roads disaster, having already awarded 27 races, many of which are contracted. The biggest problem that we want in particular, is the reconstruction of the Sp n.28, called Overview, a road access to strategic Enna, for which the Province has created a project that was approved. Now, having what it takes, we're moving politically to obtain as soon as you sign the financing and then start the call for the restoration of this important artery. Also, thanks to the councilor Zinna, woke up the project for the completion of the North-South. Project was included, as we confirmed the Anas and the president Lombardo, in the "National Plan for the South." Finally, the 'technical department, under the guidance of the Councillor for Public Works, Antonio Alvano, is looking for, on time, to complete in most soon as possible the executive plans to be sent to Palermo at the regional task force, made up for the return of Venus to Aidone for the renovation and upgrading of some roads that are in fact the route from the Palermo-Catania, namely that Reel leads up from the junction of junction with State 288, near the woods of beautiful, then get to Aidone. The roads concerned are provincial 7th, then the main road that passes near 4 Valguarnera, the main road 88, which is now used as the "4" at the end, just after the tunnel shows a landslide of major proportions , then the connection to the "tourist" and then with the state 117 a, which leads to the outskirts of Piazza Armerina, where is the junction with state highway 288. For the upgrading of these roads projects involving a total commitment of executive spending a half million euro, have already been made with 400 000 € for the provincial 7th, € 700 000 for the provincial and 4 405 000 € for 'modernization of the provincial 88, while the 288 will undergo state intervention, but will Anas regional expertise. projects are all capable of triggering positive systems with beneficial effects for the economy and jobs ". Monaco then spoke of school: "The front of the school-stressed-we completed grammar school in Nicosia and the sooner we will transfer the students in this beautiful property. Just as we finally overcame all the obstacles to the procurement of 700 000 € Istituto Tecnico Industriale di Piazza Armerina. An institution that has been designed and manufactured in the water with cement weakened, so that two thirds of the structure is unusable. Institute for the Teaching of Enna, whose work last shamefully since 1999, we are working on the safety of the building. With the company that created the building, and with which she was born a dispute, we have reached some sort of agreement Settlement for the completion of the structure. As well as going on the High School of classical Colajanni Enna, whose works are proceeding smoothly for the seismic renovation of the roof and adaptation. " The president of the province, during his speech, did not fail to refer to some successes of his administration, such as recognition to the province of Enna to establish a set of five technical institutes across Italy with regard to energy . "That said, Monaco, despite the difficulties we have to Sicily in between. We have already drawn up the memorandum and at this moment is in the Prefecture for the recognition Foundation to which leading companies have joined a national level. It 's a special high school TECHNOLOGY ensure that many young graduates expertise and employability in the energy sector. Another success is the recognition of Pon Security Program (National Operational Security) funded by the Ministry of the Interior. A financing with the first tranche will allow us to renovate the building in Via Bagni, former premises of the CPC, which will create a collection, training, care and socialization of immigrants. Another important recognition, "concluded Monaco is the approval dell'Apq-young, whose project called "Orange point" is to build in several municipalities in the province of a series of courses and activities for young people who will address various aspects of the craft. Courses with qualified staff who will and will not in any way, they can be handled by the usual caravan of phony schools. "
