The fight went from heavy smog

The environment minister, Stefania Prestigiacomo, spoke on the subject of smog, which occurs every year with the arrival of winter and it seems to vanish with the spring. The minister, identifies where the problem lies in the heavy chain of harmful emissions: "It 's here that we must take action to improve the situation: the trucks and buses require expensive filters for 8,000 euros each, which should also encourage the 'purchase with funds that, at present, there are.

" In short: the plan but there is no money. The minister, pointing out that pollution is the responsibility of the regions and municipalities, said very clearly that by analyzing the smog problem and its causes, the most effective way to intervene is on transport. "Environment has provided what he could, ie 200 million.

The rest should do the Treasury". Meanwhile, those rebounds will not serve to avoid the penalty for infringement will be imposed soon by the EU for failing to take appropriate measures to combat pollution, and that has been evaluated in a billion and a half. Spending one-sixth of this amount could have been buying all the necessary filters and would have reduced the PM10 in the air, avoiding measures that the minister himself has called "palliative" like blocking traffic, the reduction of speed on the roads and closing of historic city centers.
