S. Egidio del Monte Albino, stop at the crematorium

The regional council signs the end of the construction project of crematorium in the cemetery of Sant’Egidio del Monte Albino. The approval of the regional crematorium plan, which occurred yesterday and which does not include the structure under construction in the city of Agro, represents an important victory for a section of politics and active citizens who in recent years had strongly opposed the work . «A rule awaited since 2001 – the regional exponent of the 5 Star Movement specifically explained, Michele Cammarano, always close to the local committee that was formed to say no to the work -. In recent years, the 5 Star Movement has played a decisive role in promoting full awareness of this issue and in opposing projects that did not respect the right criteria. The plan approved with our favorable vote does not provide for the installation of a crematorium at Sant’Egidio del Monte Albino».

As envisaged in the regional plan, no more than three crematorium temples are planned in the province of Salerno. Two already exist a Cava de’ Tirreni e Montecorvino Puglianowhile the third must be installed «in the municipal territory of the capital or surrounding areas», as Cammarano said. As specified by the general director of the Directorate for Health Protection, it will be installed “in the vast territory south of Salerno”. A vote, the one that took place yesterday in the regional council, which at the same time also records the abstention of the former mayor of Sant’Egidio del Monte Albino, Nunzio Carpentieri, with the exponent of Fratelli d’Italia who preferred not to express himself after having defended the work in recent years. The current mayor of San Giuliano is also very cautious, Antonio La Mura, who did not want to make any statements on the matter, with all that this will now entail for the municipal body and the work itself.
