I have received a request for explanations about Italia dei Valori’s position on incinerators. In particular on the response given by the Honourable Borghesi of IdV to signor Ellis Favotto.
IDV is not in favour of incinerators. The risks for health caused by incinerators can be justifiable only in the presence of emergency situations and only for the time that is strictly necessary to overcome the emergency. In the past, in the blog I have expressed opinions on this position and I have not changed my mind. To avoid misunderstanding in the future on certain topics, in particular on incinerators, I will reply personally.

“Dear Hon. Di Pietro,
I am writing because I was “disconcerted” to put it mildly, by the response given by Hon. Borghesi (given in your name) and sent to Ellis Favotto on the topic of incinerators.
It is scandalous that you on your blog write that: “Italia dei Valori will oppose the construction of new incinerators, even with the request of the abolition of financing arranged up to now, and proposing legislative interventions in favour of reducing refuse at its origin and supporting companies committed to the sector of reusing refuse.”
And that Hon. Borghesi states that what is written on the Blog “does not count” because the IdV party “has always said it was in favour”.
I read your blog and now I sincerely ask myself about the credibility of what you write if contradictions of this “calibre” are then made.
I’m not hiding my sympathies and feelings for “your” party and for you as a person, nonetheless this statement and other recent ones (see Pedemontana Veneta, Mose, …) have been a profound delusion.
I’m telling you sincerely that I have lost trust in yourself and in “your” party.
I have supported Italia dei Valori in the National, Provincial and local elections.
I have given a big commitment in terms of information and election campaigning (done almost entirely at my own expense) because I believed in the IdV plan and programme.
The Provincial Coordinator (De Zanet) knows both myself and my wife very well.
I have accepted a commitment with the people and now I sincerely feel that I have the duty to communicate to them about this new position taken by the Party.
Clearly, I will not renew my Party membership and I’m asking the Coordinator to delete my name from the Mailing List as I’m no longer authorizing the use of my email or my mobile phone for various communications.
I am really disillusioned as I believed in the “transparency” of the party and yourself. At this point I see no difference between your party and all the others.
I’m really sorry. I had great faith in you.
Such statements are of such an unacceptable level of incongruence and incoherence and above all they show a complete lack of respect in relation to the whole Italian people on the part of the IdV party.
I hope that a denial will be forthcoming from yourself. In any case, since I am also President of the GRILLITREVISO Association, I will send a copy of everything to Beppe Grillo, Maurizio Pallante, Stefano Montanari, Gianluigi Salvador, Eduardo Rina and Walter Bianco to get their reactions. .
Greetings from engineer Pamio Maurizio. GRILLITREVISO Association”
