... during a walk, we were attracted by the sound of water. We went and Piave whispered:
"Freedom? How hard is it to explain their meaning, value. But sometimes, in a concept as universal as a whole, lies a meaning very simple, linked to the natural order of things, to life itself. It 's so for us ... for the thousands of drops every day give rise alle preziose acque del bacino idrico della Piave e che dovrebbero scorrere liberamente nei letti dei fiumi, a formare rivoli, cascate, cadini, in quel favoloso ambiente che è stato anche riconosciuto Patrimonio dell’Umanità.
E invece, il 90% di noi, viene intubata, incanalata, captata, privatizzata, sfruttata. Le altre nostre sorelle scendono faticosamente a valle, come in un lento trascinarsi, divincolandosi tra grate, turbine, pompe e lunghi tubi.
All’inizio ci sembrava un gioco, fatto di salti, capriole e scivoli.
Soon, however, everything was transformed. In every valley came the first geologists, then the first graders, and finally, shady characters, dark face and with strange accents citizens, accompanied by new visionaries local politicians. They were the first pirates of the water with bags of promise and pockets full of money, because the words "progress" and "work" is not enough to fool the suspicious character of the mountain.
were the last of 50 years. Boom years. Progress is known, has always been in need of energy. And one after another, Came on dams and stations. But soon, the budgets of private and public companies not longer sufficient to quantify the costs: salaries and invoices were added to the environmental devastation and tragedy. Rivers without water, water without fish and without fish life.
today, it did not seem to change.
A new class of robber came forward, more cynical, careless of the suffering endured by our valleys, ready to grab what little remained. Some come from far away and to them, the future of our mountain, it does not matter. But unfortunately, they are not alone. Here and there, many administrators sprout like mushrooms, ready to sell out the same territory, in a word, become defenders and advocates.
Today as before, new lies enrich their "reasons": minimum flow! Minimum subsistence guaranteed! Just calculate it! " cry. Squadrons of technical and brains to do arithmetic, but does not add up and never even worse, do not bother to check, especially ... the abundance of water. They do not say the same of their profits: too few. So why not privatize the water in the taps?
We are the new gold. The blue gold. A new frontier has opened a new Wild West to the doors! For this we turn to all those people, those associations, committees and those movements that they think that this area should and can have a different development and shared, where the water goes back to being a common good and not a product of a few. On October 24, down to the valley in the town of Belluno.
descend from Boite, by ARD, the Cordevole from small streams of the Dolomites and in the company of our sisters that flow to other territories, re-emerge on the surface. We will meet with you to create a joyful mobilization, which has the power to drag away the arrogance of these new raiders in order to confirm from below there is a local community that no longer want to be dictated to, aware, as recited a famous song, that freedom and participation.
