"Hypotheses for a distant future are not enough for us. Dear politicians and industrialists, here we need concrete projects for all the workers who see their jobs at risk and with them the future of their families ."
The words of Don Antonio Mura , parish priest of Portoscuso and head of the pastoral care of work for the diocese of Iglesias, well summarize the disappointment of the direct and indirect workers of Portovesme srl after the summit in Rome that saw Glencore, the Government, the Region, local institutions and unions sitting at a table.
The possibility of a new investor arriving for the zinc line that Glencore has confirmed it wants to abandon is not enough to calm people's spirits, especially those of the contract workers who will see their jobs cease on December 31st: "Concrete answers now - they asked in all the interventions during the meeting that took place today in the factory where the priest also took part - promises are no longer enough".
