Credit: Reuters/Ciro De Luca By Laura Viggiano NAPLES, Italy | Thu Oct 21, 2010 10:57am EDT NAPLES, Italy (Reuters) - Protesters set rubbish trucks alight and threw firecrackers and stones at police in Naples on Thursday as new clashes flared over waste dumps aimed at easing the latest garbage crisis in Italy's third biggest city. Police used teargas overnight to disperse several hundred protesters near a waste treatment center, and briefly held two people after arresting five others earlier in the week. Tension rose again during the day, with demonstrators smashing shop windows with clubs and torching at least five garbage trucks in Terzigno and Boscoreale, two towns at the center of the protests. As in the past, the anger is directed against existing or proposed new dump sites as residents fear contamination by unregulated and toxic waste disposal. "We are women, we are mothers ... let us stop those trucks that will bring death to our children," said one woman as police intervened to let the garbage trucks reach the Terzigno site. One policeman was injured in the face during the clashes, Sky Italia said. Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi called an emergency meeting on the crisis in Rome on Friday. The protests are the latest episode in a chronic scandal over garbage collection in the region which has resurfaced in recent weeks, prompting growing calls for action from Berlusconi's government. "We want to breathe, it's our right!" read one of a series of banners hung in the streets. Political incompetence, corruption and the influence of organized crime have all contributed to a 16-year public emergency that has seen Naples streets regularly fill with rotting rubbish. TOXIC WASTE The governor of the Campania region around Naples said the protests will not stop plans to build more waste disposal sites. "For 15 years, the whole of Campania has been a dump site for toxic waste and nothing was done about it. The law says there should be a disposal site for every province, and it must be respected," Stefano Caldoro told reporters. "Today's fears are due to the illegal practices of the past when all sorts of dangerous materials ended in the dump sites. But now we are talking about waste sites that are checked rigorously, that exist in the rest of Italy and in Europe." The garbage crisis is a blow for Berlusconi, who often boasts that clearing Naples' streets shortly after he came to power in 2008 was one of his government's main achievements. "There is an emergency that has not been solved ... the government should stop telling us about miracles but find a solution to a situation that risks triggering a real revolt," said Pierluigi Bersani of the main opposition party, the PD. 1 2 Next World Green Business Italy Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
