Eboli Junction, “Guild of Disgrace”: No Options for 25 Years

Yesterday’s tragedy was a foretold one. A drama that calls into query the Ebolitan political class of the final 25 years. 4 mayors incapable of constructing the brand new freeway junction, regardless of having Anas’ 18 million euros within the drawer. The blame, in fact, will fall on the municipal officers and on a thousand different bureaucratic excuses. In reality, the intestine of San Vito Martire It’s the disgrace that every one vacationers heading to the Cilento. Very lengthy queues for the one junction by no means redeveloped within the province of Salerno of the A2 motorway. The primary politicians to work on the brand new junction have been Gerardo Rosania e Peter Pallante. It was the final years of the final century. The scenario instantly appeared sophisticated by properties and productive actions that had sprung up like mushrooms in an space the place it was not potential to construct.

The primary main tasks subsequently fall to the mayors of the First Republic. Those that got here after actually didn’t shine for effectivity. The confusion brought on by the unlawful works was so evident that Rosania hypothesized to switch the brand new junction to the Pescara district, in order to redevelop a neighborhood that was as widespread because it was missing in providers. The mission didn’t final lengthy. Between blackmail and reprisals, Rosania risked dropping the bulk. They made the communist mayor perceive that in through San Vito Martire there have been financial pursuits which might be too massive. And subsequently the junction shouldn’t have been moved. From Rosania, the baton passes to Martin Melchiondathe longest-serving mayor in Eboli’s historical past: 10 years of presidency and just one public work, the Casa del Pellegrino. Loads of sidewalks, a couple of paved roads, many minimize bushes. And two purchasing facilities. Clearly non-public. The freeway junction? It remained the place it was, with none redevelopment. Shifting it from through San Vito Martire? The thought by no means crossed Melchionda’s thoughts, nor the politicians who supported him. All the pieces stopped for 10 years.

After Melchionda, he arrives on the Palace Max Cariello. Tricolor sash, sky-high reputation, two non-public buildings on the entrance to the town, no main public works accomplished. From the Pezzullo space to the freeway junction, from the previous slaughterhouse to the coastal strip. All the pieces stays the identical. With Cariello, because it had occurred along with his predecessors. Web of the demolitions of Rosania, with no relaunch plan for the Marina di Eboli. One other 5 years go by. Manufactured from guarantees and controversies for the freeway passage. However there isn’t any turning level. The visitors police threaten to go away for Campagna. Then they’re reassured that the whole lot will change. Within the mission for the brand new junction there may be additionally the freeway police barracksThe present headquarters, the place the fireplace brigade can also be positioned, will not be registered.

After Cariello, it is as much as Mario Conte. Right here too, many guarantees to open building websites, however nothing modifications. In three years, no progress. The councilor on obligation even will get excited, lists all the colleges with photovoltaic panels, made protected. However the main works stay caught within the final century. At first, the freeway junction. And the town stays hostage to motorists. On weekends there are very lengthy and harmful queues, just like the one yesterday. However the politicians shrug their shoulders. The eighteen million are nonetheless within the drawers of the Municipality.
