Mareamico: “Moving Ipia students from the industrial area”

The Mareamico association of Agrigento wrote to the Prefect of Agrigento, the Commissioner of the Free Municipal Consortium of Agrigento and the Agrigento Public Prosecutor’s Office “to find out what are the reasons that prevent students from moving from the building of the industrial area of ​​Agrigento that hosts them. , and which is dangerous for their health “. “In 2014, in an absolutely inappropriate way, the Province of Agrigento had decided to transfer the students of the Ipia of Agrigento to a structure in the middle of the industrial area – says Mareamico – In these long 7 years many of them have manifested allergic phenomena and asthmatics, probably caused by the proximity to industrial settlements. After many protests and exposures to the police by the students’ parents, in 2018 the Prefecture of Agrigento had promoted a meeting to address the problems related to the unhealthy air breathed by the students. During the meeting, the Asp of Agrigento stated that the schools cannot be located in an industrial area, while the Libero Consorzio gave the Authority’s willingness to immediately transfer the students to other premises located in Favara “. “To date, after 3 years from that important meeting, nothing has been done – concludes Mareamico – The students of the Ipia in Agrigento can no longer stand there”.
