While the EU will be restored many green nonsense, the first demic citizens compete with those who are more across the way: now in the lead there is Gualtieri, who in Rome aims to extinguish even the diesel Euro 5. But between extended ZTL, 30 per hour and other stakes, the challenge is long
The Italian green are too left. And they will be more and more ». The prophecy of Francesco Rutelli, who a few years ago photographed a tendency revealed with nefarious, today should be updated by reversing the order of the factors: the leftists of the left are too green. The result does not change for chaos, contradictions and hypocrisy in the Italian cities administered by them. But the tendency becomes paradoxical precisely in the months in which the Green transition shows the rope, ecological fanaticism is diluted in realism, Angelo Bonelli’s stones return to make “Pluf” in the Adige and Nicola Fratoianni sells the Tesla. While even Brussels slows down on the Green Deal and the flatulence of cows are no longer a priority for the salvation of the planet, here are the Borgomastri of the Democratic Party in the trenches “without if and without but”.
The European Union brakes? Roberto Gualtieri accelerates, in the obstinate and contrary direction compared to the changed priorities of the continent, of Italy, of the Romans themselves. If to go out of time for a guitarist like him is embarrassing, for a mayor he is unforgivable. Yet in Rome the ideological war to cars has been divided to achieve the goal of the objectives. “We have to reduce emissions of 66 percent by 2030. The climate plan is important for us and essential for our children”. And if the same level climate explains that 53 percent of the pollution comes from buildings, patience. He pulls straight and made an immense area 30 beyond the already planned Ztl of the historic center, with the new limits ready to enter into force between November and December.
The war on cars looks greatly to that of Matteo Lepore in Bologna and Beppe Sala in Milan; Gualtieri does not want to make the figure of the Calimero in performing the orders of the Nazarene with Elly Schlein in the buttons room. He goes to his political future. So he gave orders to the Mobility Department, led by Eugenio Patanè, the roads deserted: so far 52 have been identified to be closed to traffic in all the municipalities. Between Ztl “Green band” and areas 30 600 routes were chosen to be involved in the invasive intervention. Citizens are furious, many (spannometric counts say 200 thousand people) with restrictions will struggle to return home after work and others will even have to scrape the Euro 5 diesel cars; There are half a million vehicles in total. The opposition has already baptized the “Safe Biga Operation” affair, underlining anachronism. Marco Perissa, a deputy of Fdi, has defined the green band “a crazy measure that risks literally putting Rome, the economy, mobility and the right to circulate on their knees. An unfair measure that affects the weakest bands as usual ».
For the Capitol this is the last of the problems: Green marketing above all. Gualtieri himself pushes his foot on the accelerator: “We have done in three years what is usually done in ten. It was very tiring, especially at the beginning when everyone said: but is the mayor? I was working because it was all out of control. The not pruned trees, the non -maintenance roads, the waste without plants ». Even today you wander around the Eternal City and you come across public green with uncontrolled growth, in the streets with voracies, in the overwhelming multioodore bins of exotic remains, practically pop installations. But the narration counts, so here are other Green fairy tales disused elsewhere: the city of 15 minutes, the heating systems to be changed because they are energetically (Gualtieri would even like to “break down the Maxxi”) and other election campaign such as “the bathing Tiber”, while knowing that it is a boutade.
You are never too “echo” in the PD house and the mayor has a small problem: in a year and a half in Rome it is voted and his place is tempted to Nicola Zingaretti. Gualtieri is not very well put, especially after declaring that “Roman suburbs suck”.
Interior torpedoes in sight, better to exaggerate with green painting and repeating the wonders of the ecological transition to the ribbon not even Ursula von der Leyen has more the courage to evoke. It is all one chasing with Milan, passing through Bologna, the other two eco -sustainable strongholds of Italy.
Pasdaran Matteo Lepore is always a step forward compared to every fantastic forecast. After having forced the Bolognese to go 30 per hour between controversy, fines, traffic jams and appeals, he hit them in the heart with the supreme measure: he increased the cost of public transport by more than 50 percent (from 1.50 to 2.30 euros). First he warmly invited his fellow citizens to abandon the private car in favor of the buses, then he tired them. Also in the city of the two towers, the junta’s decision to include in the Cohousing project “Plan for living” an ecological license to access the public housing in the Cohousing project.
To enter the list, a requirement is preferable: to be “social or environmental activists”, so as to grasp the objective of “experimenting with a coexistence project that promotes the first experience of collective energy self -consumption on a social building building”. It looks like a tender made to measure for the latest generation of social centers and activists forgotten by the news. While Lepore is stationed on the green barricades, the governor Michele De Pascale is less extremist for one reason: during the flood of Emilia-Romagna he was mayor of Ravenna and spoken in the mud by stamped against his former regional vice-president with delegation to ecology, who had preferred ordinances to protect the nutries to the lamination tanks. It was Elly Schlein.
Beppe Sala can be summarized in a word that identifies the Milanese Greenwashing: Forestami. Unlike the diktat, practically the trees are disappearing from Milan, sacrificed in the suburban tactical squares (the Piddo-Verde junta calls them that), in the outputs of the M4, in the brainy renovations of the historic squares of the center such as Cordusio and San Babila. According to the Husqvarna agency, the European average of green spaces is 28 percent, Milan is at 17. A curious way of pursuing the green ideology by an involuntary Attila who – after the cycle paths that end up in nothing, after the ban on smoking outdoors less than 10 meters from others, after the renunciation of the mowing of the flower beds so as not to disturb the biodiversity – has the goal of the motorists: The entrance also in the vast area B, so as to definitively penalize that million people who make Milan every day the locomotive of the country. The blitz may not succeed because the latest judicial investigations have changed the slogan in the background: from forest to arrests.
If the big ones are totems out of time, the little ones chase with the imagination. How can we forget the left Green Alliance program for the MEP? In the fifth chapter, called free Italy, it aims to sensitize citizens to use “hemp bricks in the construction sector, as an ally for the decrease in carbon emissions and the fight against climate change”. With what remains you can always make a spinel. Each politician (especially the left) has its own green stronghold to be safeguarded. In the last legislature, the parliamentarian of the 5 Star Movement, Caterina Licatini, has advanced a plan to counter the risk of extinction for pollinating insects: 5 percent of public and private lands (cultivated, glued, abandoned, it does not matter) should have been used for the “crop with herbaceous, shrub and darboree melliphere essences”, to support bees.
Facade green disease is not only Italian. In London, the mayor Sadiq Khan dreams of restoring the swampy waters of the Thames beyond Camden to re -propose ancient biodiversity. The top comes from Macronian France. In Strasbourg, the ecological mayor Jean Barseghian decided to turn off the cathedral lights in the name of the “energy sobriety policy”. In Lyon, the first citizen Grégory Doucet wanted to abolish the legendary Tour de France because “Machista and pollutant”. The golden palm goes to Anne Hidalgo, Lady Paris. For the 2024 Olympics he wanted to make the Seine seaside, a mission failed among the Lazzi. He tried again last summer, managing to fascinate the world only for 24 hours. The next day he rained and the red flag raised on the three small beaches chosen for the test. Water quality tests had given negative response. The pantheganes were no longer dived.
