Health and waste are the priorities of Francesco Rocca, center-right candidate for governor, who on the last day of the electoral confrontation in Lazio listed the actions to be implemented immediately, in case of victory. “My first act will be to intervene in emergencies, to restore dignity to citizens”, said the former president of the Italian Red Cross when participating in the last confrontation between the TgR candidates, specifying that “autonomy will not have a direct impact on health In any case, he specified during an interview with Il Messaggero, “I will not allow there to be risks to the health of citizens”. Zingaretti’s advice. “I’m going back to the waste plan”, guarantees Rocca. But that will not be an obstacle to the construction of the waste power generation plant in Rome. A project for which, however, as governor of Lazio, he could ask for a revision. “I will work side by side with the mayor of Rome (Roberto Gualtieri, ed.) so that we make the incinerator, but also tell us the solution to the question of viability, which is critical in Ardeatina ”. In fact, in order to build the plant, the municipalized Ama bought land in the Santa Palomba region, in the extreme south of the capital’s outskirts, where there was immediate opposition from both residents and neighboring municipalities. Everyone is concerned about the impact on traffic, particularly heavy vehicles, and the possible environmental impact resulting from the combustion of urban waste. At the waste energy recovery plant, which is expected to start operating in 2026, 600,000 tons of waste should be treated per year.
During the face-to-face meeting with his opponents on the regional news, Rocca pointed the finger at Alessio D’Amato, Lazio’s current health councilor, accusing the left-wing junta of having “produced a region with many unemployed young people”. A job crisis that, according to the centre-right candidate, would be “the effect of this administration’s decision to essentially privatize training and work, entrusting it to some companies instead of dialoguing with employers’ associations. If I become governor – underlined Rocca – the first thing I will do is reopen an important dialogue with the Chambers of Commerce, listen to the voice of companies. Another priority will be safety at work because there are many deaths of whites even in Lazio ». And after an inspection at the Colleferro hospital (“symbol of the mistreatment suffered by health units in our provinces”), there was emotion on Remembrance Day. The visit to the district of Giuliano Dalmata, in Rome (the only one of the candidates for governor of Lazio), was in fact the last commitment before the meeting with the ballot boxes. A national tragedy, that of the sinkholes and the exodus from Istria, Fiume and Dalmatia, to which more attention must be paid to Rocca. «It is essential and vital to remember – he underlined, adding that – the Laurentino neighborhood and the Historical Museum Archive of Fiume are the symbolic places in Lazio regarding this tragedy that hit our compatriots on the eastern border. In the Region – he promises – it will be important to value these places and raise awareness among students».
