Referendum coming polls
In January 2011 the Constitutional Court gave the green light for the completion of the second referendum for two of these three referendums on the ripubblicizzazione water, where this spring were collected (from a network of associations belonging to the Italian Forum of Water Movements) almost a half million signatures, 11,000 here in Trentino. Now, citizens should being called to polling stations to say YES or NO, in a period from 15 April to 15 June. To decide the date of the referendum will not, alas, the organizing committee, who in turn asked the combination with the local elections to be held this spring (though not in Trentino), in order to make citizens go to the polls a 'only once. But instead decide those government circles that have attempted to impose strict water privatization with the Ronchi Decree of 2009, and are therefore the direct opponents of the referendum movement, which has moved, first of all, just to block the effects of that decree. And so it is likely that the date will be decided with a view boycott, fixing it as late as possible, around the edge of the June 15 (it would be the weekend of 11 and 12), when lorsignori hope that a quota of electors, closed schools, are already "at sea" as it had to Craxi once said to call for a boycott of another referendum, but instead reached the quorum, and indeed, with the avalanche of voters who went to the polls, opened the china political descendant of the man. We hope that if they try - to make riding on the date - this time will end the same way, with an avalanche of voters who go to the polls, and bury the privatization of water in Italy under a mountain of SI. Why
of course, is the real risk of not achieving a quorum, is the people that the day would go "to the sea", or - here - in the mountains, instead of the seats (but of course not forbidden to go to the mountains, just spend a moment sooner or later, the polls).
So much for the timing, of course, in order to avoid early elections, in which case everything would move at least another year. But what are the two referendum questions approved by the Constitutional Court? I am the first and third, whereas the second was declared inadmissible, as well as a similar question on which he had collected the signatures a party, Italy of Values \u200b\u200b(Di Pietro). Assuming the first question, the consultation has left open the prospect of replacing the core of the Ronchi Decree, that requiring municipalities to delegate service delivery to private companies, or mixed public-private but with the individual at least 40% . The third question however remains in the field to prevent the possibility of making profits, "guaranteed" by the sale of water (to be distributed to the holders of packages of shares), which would render, in fact, the interest of speculators finance for the control of water supplies. It excludes, however, as we said, the second question, which aimed to repeal the 2000 law that established management models. Even the approval of two questions on 3 "is a very significant result, however - he told reporters Alberto Lucarelli, the principal legal advisor to the organizing committee, and professor of public law - especially as the third question is also the second attack, the excluded. "
short, not to get too technical, let's say that victory in this referendum (and first of all - is always worth repeating - the achievement of the quorum), stopping the attempt that is creeping forward 15 years, but with Decree Roche had an acceleration of the water market to sell financial speculation, who's sole objective is to get in pocket money on our overriding need for a primary resource such as water, and take water services in the field of social services of primary interest, on which it is not permissible to speculate.
So far we have talked about water. But with gold blue referendum, the citizens will be called this spring to express their views even on the reintroduction of nuclear power plants in Italy for a referendum on which he has collected signatures Italy of Values. Roberto Di
