Some / people / s of the "Committee against the underpass TAV" critically attended the conference held today at the Palace of the Guelph, organized by the CGIL. The occasion was to be in the proposal made by the current review that "The CGIL we want," a discussion and a debate between supporters of the underpass and the strengthening of the surface lines.
Apart from the statement by Professor Tree Ziparo that summed up all the criticism of the project "under" and in particular the lack of EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) station on Foster, the Committee welcomed with interest to the Prefect Dr. Padoin that has condemned the lack of comparison this work between institutions and citizens, said the anomalous increase in the cost of operations in Italy and promised oversight of construction sites to prevent infiltration, in games of subcontracting firms reactions to the mafias.
Unfortunately the opportunity was certainly not that of a peaceful confrontation, but a substantial Tuscan soliloquy of the main institutions that have wearily repeated the same arguments. Some people have exhibited Committee flags with the words "NO TAV TUNNEL" to report their disappointment at the lack of dialogue. A service order of the union, unnecessarily oversized, has even tried to avoid this civilized sign of dissent.
E 'was delivered to members of the CGIL, the letter attached below.
** ** ** **
The letter to the mayor / citizens / s who oppose the project under crossing of Florence TAV have been calling for years for a comparison of public institutions in which they demonstrate, beyond advertising slogans, the usefulness of this work.
years are asked to compare the project underground and the surface prepared by the team from the University of Florence, with technical volunteers. There was always found in front of a wall of indifference. Even today's convention, held in one day and one hour impossible, it has all the appearance of a self-celebration away from a person's ear.
The criticality of the "loop AV" by now, however, are becoming common patrimony. There are so many and so big that they can no longer hide.
The question is rather how it is possible that the largest road construction work that has interested Florence in 1865 and has gaps planning, zoning and regulations so gross, it seems very deep sign of deterioration system and the system Tuscan Italy.
From the unions are often cited infrastructure projects to boost economy and employment. The vagueness with which they hoped this work does not take into account the situation quite different from that in which the infrastructure has really boosted the world economy after the crisis of 1929.
The "great works" on site in Italy for decades have worked to bring the economy to the depression that we are living, public debt generated by these works does not create wealth and employment, but only objective is to finance economic groups that are now in control the system of governance is a keinesismo down a system of concentration della ricchezza prelevata dalle collettività e destinato a creare privilegi e ulteriore disuguaglianza. Sembrerebbe strano che il principale sindacato italiano non se ne accorgesse.
Oggi vediamo che queste dinamiche si stanno realizzando nella costruzione dei tunnel di Firenze: una infrastruttura faraonica per un beneficio risibile, enormi problemi che porteranno a varianti in corso d'opera e ad un aumento folle dei costi, seguendo un copione già visto.
A proposito dell'occupazione prodotta da questi grandi cantieri dobbiamo ricordarci un lavoratore, Pietro Mirabelli, “lancista” nei cantieri CAVET in Mugello, morto pochi mesi fa in un incidente sul lavoro in una galleria in Svizzera, dove si era rifugiato perché mobbizzato nei cantieri italiani. Fu Pietro che ebbe il coraggio di denunciare e far capire che il lavoro che c'è in questi cantieri non è buono, che non è ben pagato, che non è molto, che è frutto di giochi vergognosi di appalti e subappalti che portavano a scaricare sugli ultimi – i lavoratori e le piccole ditte – tutti i costi sociali, umani ed economici di queste grandi opere. E' bene ricordare che, in passato, nel gioco di appalti e subappalti dei cantieri TAV siamo arrivati a far sì che gli ultimi realizzatori concreti dell'opera ricevessero il 10% della spesa sostenuta dallo stato; il 90% degli importi si distribuiva nei vari passaggi, spesso in società in odor di mafia.
Pietro Mirabelli è nella memoria di tutti for many reasons, we will mainly because it was proof that the social and environmental problems are not in conflict with each other, but it is the "despotism of profit" and crushing each other to the interests of a few.
Works such as the tunnels are a high concentration of capital, but require little labor, we saw him reading the same project: expected 400 workers on construction sites in construction of the station, half in the other periods.
If the economic resources that you would like to throw in the dig in the belly of Florence were destined to the security and maintenance so that massacres like the one in Viareggio no longer have to occur, if they were finalizzate ad un potenziamento complessivo della rete e del servizio pubblico generale, si avrebbe un ritorno altissimo in termini di miglioramento della mobilità, benefici urbanistici, maggior occupazione anche di lungo periodo, non solo nei cantieri.
Un sindacato come la CGIL queste cose le dovrebbe sapere e comportarsi di conseguenza; altrimenti si dà forza alle voci maligne che vedono tanta indulgenza verso questo progetto perché il general contractor sono le cooperative.
Un ultimo favore chiediamo: non continuate a raccontarci le favole che con la liberazione dei binari di superficie si potenzierà il servizio regionale, guardate sulla linea Firenze Bologna liberata dai treni TAV: c'è il deserto. Non continuate a spacciarci la capacity of a line with its actual use, where you will find other resources for 220 regional trains with the cuts if the government is reduced current supply of local public transport and where billions of euro will be spent in a useless ? The
/ citizens / the Committee will continue to oppose these unnecessary always to "great works" is aware that a substantial
battle for freedom, democracy, work, not only dictated by fear of cracks in walls; Nationals against the tunnel hope to find soon at their side also the union.
