Movement, Environment and Territory

Sant'Antonino flares at July 28 2008 at 21

In recent days the media can can on the long affair has absolved Tab, as always, many words and, above all, so much confusion. Great importance was given to the 'agreement' of the lead by Mario Virano. Mayors and administrators of the Valley are now convinced the Tab you will. Hooray! The project - they say - was signed just a few technical differences on the stages of implementation (expressed by the directors in the proposed fare).

All clear then? All over? Just for nothing.

Already the day after the signing, in fact, while the government sang victory for the "green light" at the same mayors of Valle smentivano that it had signed an agreement on the Table, but at most a convergence on the method (as in Usually, under the empty words of bureaucratic paperwork, everyone continues to see and pursue their own interests).

But above all, trumpeted in all this, there is something that does not return, something which all seem to have forgotten: the people of the Susa Valley, the people who will suffer the work, and to which no one (neither the government nor the local administrators) requested the opinion. It will not be perhaps that has failed to consult valsusini precisely because they believe these have already expressed, and unequivocally, blocking yards a few years ago?

What has changed since then? We missed something that was supposed to make us change their minds and convince us of the goodness of this? There is. So for us as for the thousands of valsusini that during 2005 have chosen to "get in half" to defend its territory and its future has not changed anything. You did the accounts without the landlord!

No Tav Committees as we have from the beginning opposed to participation in work, as a "Trojan horse" to obtain the consent of the directors. Today this is for all to see, but even administrators - signed an agreement in which, well look, you take for granted the need for new lines, tunnels base of over 50 km including - you forget the few sensible conclusions the Center had reached, namely that the historical line is not saturated, and is more than enough to withstand any economic upward trend, which is entirely hypothetical (as well as undesirable for those who had the misfortune to live in their "corridor ").

Surprised to hear directors of the Valle argued that the new project will be useful to tourism and remove traffic from the truck. Seems that these people have not even read the Exercise of which indicate clearly that even with a new railway line highway traffic does not diminish that of an insignificant percentage. However, what is insured, are the decades of construction sites, the thousands of trucks back and forth for the Valley, the tons of material excavated, tunnels dust extracted dall'Ambin (nobody seems to remember the more proven presence of uranium , Etc.). These are the incentives for the "development tourism" in the Valley for the next few years?

And how do you believe the tale of a train designed for high-speed freight over long distances that will stop to drop skiers in Valley? And where then? A Susa? But let us not laugh ...! If this were not enough to improve somewhat 'service of the existing rail? Faced with such nonsense, it is not clear if the attitude of some directors is just naive or if the attendance at some tables have finally convinced them to join full of interests rather than those of the population valsusina.

Specifically Chiomonte to, to know that in the case of the LTF Base Tunnel would be moved, but in the area of Magdalena Valley Clarea remain a tunnel. Although small tunnel that can only raise similar concerns: the problems related to shipbuilding, dust, hydrological risks el'intercettazione aquifers, to name some.

Faced with these disasters announced, someone already beginning to talk about compensation, forgetting that all we have heard these slogans during the construction of and we have seen what it is (as well as for "jobs" , The "development" and so on.). But there's more ... reading of the final agreement, it goes even beyond the concept of "compensation" because we want to pass the idea that Tab is in itself an improvement of the environment. A Chiomonte, for example, the exit which should build to run the thousands of truck for the next few years, is presented as a gift to citizenship! We really all'assurdo, and more with the complicity of some amiministratori.

In the past, the mayor of Chiomonte Renzo Pinard (as he and other administrators of the Valley) has always said that it would only spoken about in front of a project, and after consultation with its citizens. Today we discover that instead gives its adherence to a "suggestion" (as he calls someone) proposed by Virano. In the chiomontino "Rafanaudo" (the black man who frightens children sleep) is a suggestion, but for better or for worse we are no longer children, and we have learned to recognize who is taking us around.

Those who think they can come in Valsusa to do their comfortable ignoring the opinion of the population, remain disappointed again. Tab to dissent is always present and determined today as then, although for obvious reasons, less noisy and visible. And the No Tav movement, as it has prevented yards in 2005 to Venaus, the rifarà anywhere in this valley will be necessary.
