mine was not an amnesty – Corriere.it

In the face of the Ischia disaster, Giuseppe Conte’s statements on Rai3 are raving. He made an amnesty on Ischia, closed the mission unit over the instability and isn’t he ashamed? Yet 4 years ago we told him. On the sidelines of the tragedy in Campania, a new and very tough front of political controversy is opening up between two former prime ministers. Matteo Renzi, who even in the morning had said that silence should prevail in the face of the drama, in the afternoon, after hearing the statements of the M5S leader in the transmission of Lucia Annunziata, he abandons all hesitation and sinks the blows. Conte says Ischia’s measure was not an amnesty. Article 25 of his decree law explicitly speaks of procedures for amnesty in Ischia – writes the IV leader on Facebook -. Conte must be ashamed for the amnesty and for having closed the mission unit on hydrogeological instability. In 2018 we asked Conte to stop! There is a limit to decency: today he surpassed it.

In the interview with Mhalf an hour morethe president of the 5 Stars had denied the allegations, then relaunched by Renzi, which had come to him from various exponents of IV (from Raffaella Paita to Francesco Bonifazi): It was not an amnesty at all. I had recently taken office and there was a great impasse, in Ischia the requests for amnesty before 2018 concerned about 27,000 homes, half of the homes on the island, due to three laws that have occurred over time, plus there were requests for homes affected by the earthquake. That was the context, according to the then Prime Minister (his first government, the M5S-Lega one). So we introduced article 25. Not an amnesty, but an acceleration of the procedure for examining files. It was absolutely not allowed to grant an amnesty, no derogation from the constraints including the constraint on hydrogeological instability. Not an amnesty but a simplification procedure, explained Conte.

The president of the Campania Region, Vincenzo De Luca, does not use means on the subject terms: People must understand that in some areas it is not possible to live, there is no unauthorized building of necessity. Buildings in hydrogeologically fragile areas must be demolished. Furthermore, in Ischia, after the 2017 earthquake, a government commissioner was appointed and totally ramshackle legislation was applied – accuses the governor – completely different from that applied in the areas of the central and northern earthquake.

Carlo Calenda also has his say on the subject, via Twitter: Conte has made an amnesty dangerous in Ischia and canceled the “Casa Italia” mission unit for the sole reason that Matteo Renzi had established it. Both serious mistakes. But trying to make fun of Italians with hoax-style eloquence is even worse. From the Pd comes the voice of the former deputy Alessia Morani: I shouted in the Chamber against the amnesty of Conte and Salvini of Ischia. At least today they have the good taste to remain silent. Finally, Legambiente provides some data: In Ischia there are about 600 abusive houses affected by a definitive demolition order and the number of amnesty practices presented in connection with the three national laws reaches 27,000. In particular, the association recalls that after the 2018 decree, the number of damaged buildings that have applied for amnesty is currently around 1,000.
