Euroallumina workers: "Remediation at risk if funds don't arrive soon."
Forty meters away, on silo number three in Portovesme, the workers are on their eighth day of picketing"Cleanup efforts at risk if funds don't arrive soon." From the forty meters of silo number three in Portovesme, Eurallumina workers, now in their eighth day of protest, are raising the alarm about the continuity of the ongoing cleanup efforts: without funding, even those could stop at the end of the year.
"We have the processing waste site and the industrial wastewater treatment plant that pumps out 50 cubic meters of water a day," the workers say. "The ministries must ensure continuity of the cleanup operations, which cannot be stopped."
As the week begins, workers are hoping for clarification and news from Rome regarding the release of ministerial funds for assets subject to property sanctions. "We are determined to continue the protest," the workers say.
