See all unfinished works after disasters

“It’s finally game – adds D’Angelis – for the first time after so many broken promises and thanks the choice of premier Renzi to create the structure of mission at the Palazzo Chigi and appoint the Chairmen of Regional Commissioners of the Government against the disruption, what we consider the most important public works project that Italy needs and what happened tonight in Treviso confirms the ‘urgency of maintenance of safety of the landslide slopes of river banks, to create retention basins to reduce flood risk in many areas of the country. They are interventions – underscores – that politics has always considered second class because they do not bring votes and do not make headlines, but save lives and the environment, public and private property and protect areas of an extraordinary but incredible fragility due to deregulation urban and the abnormal consumption of soil. We can not and we must not waste any more time. After decades of expectations and promises, veto and opposition – said the head of # italiasicura – the last part of the site safety for millions of Italians. “
