In recent days, the Berlusconi government approved a decree that provides for the privatization of public water. This is a serious measure that gives to multinationals and speculators a common good is essential for the very life of the people.
Among other things in common (such as, for example, in the province of Latina Aprilia), where water privatization has already been implemented for some years, there has been an increase in inefficiency and in particular a dramatic increase in rates charged to citizens.
According to the calculations of all the major consumer groups, the Codacons to Federconsumatori, with the privatization of water supply will end up paying for water from 30% to 40% more than now.
If in 2009 an average Italian family will spend € 268, with an average annual consumption of 200 cubic meters of water in 3 years that same family will spend on average € 348 a year, an increase of 80 €!
will be determined that an increase in the cost of services generated by the need for individuals to provide an activity that is profitable for them. We citizens, in short, we will end up paying not only the cost of water, but the profit of the private water systems.
This is unacceptable, it must stop now ... or later the water will eventually want to privatize the air we breathe!
WATER 'RIGHT AND GOOD FOR ALL, not a commodity on which to speculate!
