We cried out of the water hands down, in the territories, the squares, in front of Parliament, institutions . However, it is not even big enough public outrage to stop the process of privatization of water contained in the decree "Save the case of" approved by Parliament in recent months. A measure that in fact imposes unfair to municipalities contracting for the management of public services in economic importance to private or joint venture if they participate in public procurement procedures.
We are fighting that has always been in favor of water as a common good, public management and against any attempt to privatize, we will not stop in front of the decisions taken by Parliament and issued by multinational water and a few unscrupulous speculator. Right after the green light to measure, such as the Federation of the Left and agree with the movement, we decided to conduct a series of actions and which may include construction, in January, three rounds of seminars on the theme of water, with the presence of his companions as speakers of the Forum of movements in defense of public water. It was three training sessions with which we were able to cover the whole country (Bologna, Rome and Bari) and which were attended by a total of 150 among comrades, many s of s which are present in local authorities. And there are many forms of action taken on local councils and in the joints and start to avoid falling into the trap of privatization, the submission of agendas in the deliberations to come, and in recent months, the meetings of the National Political Committee of the PRC Communist party had committed the institutional representatives of PRC legislation intended to promote the inclusion in the municipal statutes of specific wording to define the integrated water service as a public service free of local economic importance. Now
mobilization from below, we grown in recent months along with the awareness of the stakes, must continue and the water must be removed from the market logic at the expense of the community.
Water is one of the main constituents of ecosystems and is the basis of all known life forms and is fundamental in its various civilian uses, agricultural and industrial products. For Thales, the first philosopher of history, the water was the arche, the beginning of everything. These findings led him to observe what was around him. We are talking about 600 years before the birth of Christ. Today we know much more, that science and technology have provided further evidence of knowledge, a good so important, essential for life, for some is a commodity from which to draw the maximum profit.
The PRC has in its DNA, the battle in favor of common goods and to manage public water because it considers the common good, which is essential for life. Today on Earth more than a billion three hundred million people lack access to clean water. And for increasing numbers and are fed by neo-liberal choices that determine monstrous inequalities in access to even this good. The commercialization
, putting water in the hands of profit rates would also salty.
A public management, efficient and free search of profit at all costs, but is useful to the preservation of a community against the policies of plunder of the territories, protecting the landscape and the hydrological system. It requires measures that protect water resources to ensure a distribution of drinking water quality for all and requires an integrated management of water that includes the recycling and reuse, waste water treatment, waste water, especially for industrial uses. The reverse of the operation carried out by the government.
There are many reasons that lead us then to adhere firmly to the appeal launched by the Italian Forum of Water Movements and attend the great event to be held March 20 in Rome to confirm the rejection of the privatization of water and reaffirm that water is a common good.
The PRC and the Federation of the Left will be at the forefront of blocking any possibility of privatization, together with other political and social forces that share the referendum route. Communist Refoundation then puts its facilities available for the continuation of this important battle that will have a great time the first major event of the March 20 and soon after, with the process of collecting signatures that will from next April . * National Secretariat
