"The Zaia League votes against the fight against climate change and after two minutes the council chamber is submerged."
Amendments calling for funding for renewables rejected or rejected
[13 November 2019]
Last night in the Regional Council we were discussing the Stability Law on the Regional Budget 2020 when around 10 p.m. water began, for the first time in the history of the Regional Council of Veneto, to flood the council chamber with the consequent flight of all councillors, assessors, officials, employees of the legislative service and many others.
Some might think that this was not predictable, it is not so! The numerous and precise bulletins on the high water and especially the sirens in action told us only one thing: evacuate Palazzo Ferro Fini. And instead, the President of the Council and the representatives of the League wanted to continue to the bitter end, creating a series of additional hardships, including the serious difficulties of those involved in water transport services, who also had to risk dangerous manoeuvres.
Meanwhile, the waters invaded the entire ground floor of Palazzo Ferro Fini flowing like a stream (the noise was just that) in the lower areas such as the dining room, the Lion's Room, the Council Room, the kitchens, the guard and unfortunately the council room: the classroom of the legislative assembly of Veneto.
All the furnishings, carpets, chairs and in particular many electrical appliances such as sockets and fan coils went underwater.
The high tide, which yesterday reached 1.87 cm, in Venice is due, among other things, to the many factors of climate change, with the rise of the water of the seas, due to the melting of the glaciers due to global warming.
Ironically, the council chamber was flooded two minutes after the majority Lega, Fratelli d'Italia and Forza Italia had rejected our amendments to combat climate change.
The amendments asking for funding for renewable sources, for electric columns, for the replacement of diesel buses with more efficient and less polluting ones, for the scrapping of the very polluting stoves, to finance the Covenants of Mayors for Sustainable Energy and Climate (PAESC), to reduce the impact of plastic, etc., were rejected or rejected. All amendments tabled because the Zaia budget does not contain any concrete action to combat climate change.
There is no more significant image of water flooding the council chamber and causing the representatives of the Venetian people to flee, to illustrate all the inconsistency and political nullity of the current miserable administrative action of this Venetian government led by Lega, Forza Italia and Fratelli d'Italia.
This depressing picture is completed by the now usual absence of Zaia during the work of the Council (neither yesterday nor Monday has ever been seen) because she is intent on giving herself airs for her new bill on the Veneto flag. The capital of Veneto drowns in the waters and Zaia who does? ... thinks of the flag with the lion of Veneto.
On the other hand, we will still see him fighting "belly on the ground" for the "game" of autonomy of the Veneto or better pretend to fight because, if we think about it, ask for the 23 subjects and say "so or nothing" is the best way to fail any agreement for autonomy.
Zaia knows that after the Unesco Prosecco area, the Olympics in Cortina (a governor all "panem et circenses") he only has the propaganda objective of autonomy and without it he would find himself without arguments and should finally deal with climate change and health, matters that, given the commitment and results, we strongly doubt is able to address. So who makes him do it to get rid of the last mirror for the larks to use with too many distracted and gullible citizens of Veneto?
The same Venetian citizens who would do well to think about the 7 billion euros thrown on a Mose that is still not working today: all we have to do is cry. If the voters of the Veneto continue to close their eyes, the Zaia League will take us all underwater.

"I didn't read the interviews that #XR founder Roger Hallam gave to german newspapers, but I'm reading the Freiburg XR sections apology for his statements.
they say in their statement that the stuff Hallam said was not just a mistake, they say he said it on purpose with a strategy: he wants to force german XR groups to be more open for coalition with rightwing movements. "
