1 million and 400,000 signatures, record is
Now stop contracts awarded water services provided by the Ronchi Decree
Today, Monday, July 19, the Organizing Committee of the Referendum for the public water supply more than one million and four hundred thousand signatures in the Court of Cassation.
a result that marks an important step in the history of democracy and participation in this country. No referendum in the history of the Republic has collected so many signatures.
The challenge in front of the organizing committee is to bring at least 25 million Italians to vote on three "yes" next spring, when the referendum will be held against the privatization of water services. One result is that today, in light of the "democratic revival" which has seen during the months of collecting signatures, there seems to be reached.
Now we ask the government to enact a law that has custody of the moratorium for water services provided by the Ronchi Decree at least until the date of the referendum. We also ask local governments to not pursue the limits prescribed by the Ronchi Decree. One million four hundred thousand signatures and represent a de-legitimization of any tense choice to apply the decree, all the more reason to anticipate even the very authorities who want deadlines.
The next meeting of the people is water on 18 and 19 September when, probably in Florence, will host the meeting of movements for water.
