WITH A CANOE IN THE LAKE AGAINST SPECULATION
Sunday 10 November 2013, during the initiative "Guided tour of the former factory, at the Parco delle Energie and al lake Ex-Snia", to more than 200 residents were denied the guided visit to that part of the SNIA Viscose factory and the lake, already publicly owned.
With a canoe we have conquered the center of the lake and we have regained what is due to us, claiming the right to access the pond area
The entire area is intended as a master plan for public parks and services and should have already been park; it would appear that a quarter has already been expropriated for the expansion of the Energy Park towards Casal Bertone, the property pretended not to know anything, and closed the entrances preventing the passage as servants, but not only…
After last 12 October, when a large group of inhabitants had already come down to the pond, the property has illegally excavated the slope bordering the park, putting the entire pine forest above at risk and has made a descent to the lake for the unloading of materials, deforesting a part of the shore.
The Parco delle Energie and the pond are the only patch of green that has already been subtracted from building speculation for twenty years, in one of the most densely populated areas in Europe and with the lowest rate of green per capita, suffocated by traffic and infrastructure, with a very high degree of air pollution.
Today a new speculation in the area, by the already known Palazzinaro Pulcini, he wants to attack the territory further, forever erasing the lake and its habitat, with the construction project of 4 towers of 30 floors each, taller than 100 meters that will rest on tuff and incoherent river sediments ... In addition, this will result in the pouring of hundreds of cubic meters of concrete for new housing developments and an increase in environmental pollution (fine dust, smog, particulate matter,…) and acoustic.
The accomplices of speculation, responsible in the years of this havoc, and the green remains confined to pure and ridiculous decoration:
-The Municipality of Rome which does not provide the TAR judges with essential elements to confirm the complete demolition.
-The Alemanno junta which launched the tender to rebuild the former industrial areas and allowed the builder Pulcini to present the project "of the towers" ...
-The Polverini that with the regional law on the house plan increases the building volume and tries to circumvent the restrictions on protected areas.
-The rector Frati, who just took office, ditches the project for the construction of the scientific campus in the area of the former factory, renouncing the acquisition of the area by La Sapienza.
-The Municipal Council of the former VI Town Hall that since 2012 was aware of the project and did nothing to make it public and hinder the process.
