In recent days, the press has reported news regarding the new location of the Garda wastewater treatment plant in the Esenta district of Lonato. In response to these reports, the local section of the Lega has publicly expressed its position, reiterating its opposition to this solution. This article presents the official statements of the party, aiming to maintain a neutral and informative tone.
The Lega’s Previous Position:
The Lega of Lonato states that its position has not changed from what was previously expressed, particularly during the “open” City Council meeting held in Esenta in May 2021. This earlier meeting had already seen the Lega raise concerns and reservations regarding the potential location of the treatment plant.
Concerns Raised by the Lega:
The Lega of Lonato raises several concerns regarding the choice of Esenta as the site for the treatment plant:
- Water Discharge: According to the Lega, the new location would not resolve the issue of the discharge of treated waters, which would continue to flow into the Chiese River.
- Environmental Impact and Land Consumption: The construction of the treatment plant in Esenta, the party argues, would involve the use of a large area of fertile agricultural land, resulting in the erosion of pristine soil and a significant environmental impact.
Commitment of the Lega:
The Lonato section of the Lega declares its intention to approach the relevant authorities to formally reiterate its opposition to the location of the treatment plant in Esenta. The party justifies this opposition with the belief that the proposed solution is not environmentally sustainable.
Signatories of the Statement:
The statement is signed by the following political figures from the Lega of Lonato:
- Giuseppe Borgese – Secretary of the Lega of Lonato and President of the City Council
- Roberto Vanaria – Group Leader of the Lega in the Lonato City Council
- Monica Zilioli – Deputy Mayor of Lonato
- Nicola Bianchi – City Councillor
- Massimo Castellini – City Councillor
- Muriel Cassini – City Councillor
- Elena Orlini – City Councillor
- Laura Giacomelli – City Councillor
The statement is also endorsed by activists and supporters of the Lega of Lonato.
The Lega of Lonato has expressed strong opposition to the new location of the Garda wastewater treatment plant in Esenta, citing environmental concerns and issues related to water discharge as the reasons for its stance. The party has announced that it will take action with the relevant authorities to make its voice heard.
