Approved Art. 15: private water supply for everyone!
The battle does not stop: we will move forward in the territories and national level
today (we are in November) by a vote of confidence in the House of Representatives has completed its examination of the decree 135/09 which Article 15 marks the final and complete privatization of drinking water in Italy.
The government decree requires that citizens and local authorities are dispossessed of a right and a common good as the water to return it in the hands of private individuals and financial capital. This is done under the false pretext of a uniform management local public services to the European Commission's requests while there is no obligation and the changes introduced to suppress the management "in house" at odds with the principles of European law. Although it is now plain for all who entrusted the management of water services in recent years to private parties, some provinces experienced in Italian or European level have produced solely to higher prices, lower investment and a steady increase in consumption, it continues to argue that private market and are synonymous with efficiency and cost savings.
The Italian Forum of Water Movements has fallen immediately in the field to counter this measure by the national campaign "Save the Water" to which there has been a very high adhesion.
To date we have delivered 45,000 signatures to the Speaker of the House in support of the appeal calling for the withdrawal of the rules to privatize water.
addition, thousands of people have expressed their dissent and opposition in the Art .15 a garrison held last November 12 to Piazza Deputies and in several local protests, thousands of people have sent emails to MPs to ask not to convert Decree-law 135/09, many personalities have expressed their indignation on the one hand and on the other their support to the campaign.
In these days grew up in society the knowledge that deliver the water market is to put democracy at risk. Although this mobilization of civil society and local authorities themselves, the government has imposed a vote of confidence and does not accept the demands and concerns of many mayors of government ruled by majorities of different political colors. How
Forum for Water Movements are outraged by the superficiality with which the Government, without which there were grounds of urgency, he wanted to accelerate the privatization of water.
At this point we believe that the complaint will be subsumed in the territories, to ask the local authorities that the mayor riapproprino on water management through the recognition of water as a human right and water service as a public service free of local economic importance and at the same time to urge the regions to enable appeals against the legality of the measure.
These paths are viable mobilization as reflected in the resolutions adopted by the Regional Government of Puglia, from the many resolutions passed by city councils in the rest of Sicily and Italy, most recently in Venice.
The people will continue the battle for water ripubblicizzazione taking water service territorial and national initiatives aimed at overcoming the Art. 15 of Decree-Law. How
Forum Movements, we call on all civil society to continue to mobilize and to feel his dissent even after the adoption of Article. 15 through demonstrations in the territories and sending messages to all parties, the provincial and regional councilors, parliamentarians and local
A Mayors elected to ask you to give birth in their respective institutions in a firm position taken by them to reject the law and give life to protest actions in the institutions.
