"The appeal to the ethical sense, the responsibility of all and even self-criticism of all social, political and civic, with so much pulling ears of journalists, came back yesterday from the Governor De Filippo at the hearing in the Third Committee of experts and ARPAB Metapontum Agrobios the Viggiano oil center and Pertusillo (than that of the Phoenix), employees should be directed first to the press office of the regime that now rules in the paper web are saying that "everything is under control". In support is the CSAIL-President of the Organizing Committee Outraged Lucanians Philip Massaro for which "we can not tell if everything is under control because it set up a commission of inquiry, and because you lose so much time to trigger other actions".

"What angers us most - still - is the almost total absence (the only voices that are record-oncologist director Enrico Mazzeo Cicchetti, Councillor Vincenzo Ruggiero and Dr. Antonio Flovilla) Referencell'incidenza of tumors in the Val d'Agri in Basilicata and therefore the consequences of the impact of oil on the health of citizens of the Val d'Agri-Sauro as the most serious deficiency in the Cancer Registry. It seems that the question does not interest at all, and Alderman Martorano, before. former Deputy Mayor for Health De Filippo current Governor.

The only study in this respect was made, so too superficial, by family doctors of the residents in some towns of the Val d'Agri without possibility of comparing the health of those assisted by at least 10-15 years ago.

The CSAIL records that, malgrado subscribe than 40 thousand citizens and family members of patients with cancer, for the establishment of second radiotherapy center, the Region and in particular Councillor Martorano, just as did his predecessor, Anthony Power, lose precious time.

And yet, also recently, journals specializing in environmental issues and scientific publications have dealt with the increase of cancer particularly in Val d'Agri-Sauro where petroleum activities are carried out. For this can be taken into consideration the possibility of localization of the second center of "radiation therapy at the hospital in Villa d'Agri", without any conflict with the St. Charles ".

The ill with cancer from the more 'distant countries lucani - da Senise, Newfoundland Pollino, Corleto Perticara, Missanello, S. Arcangelo, Stigliano, Policoro, Lagonegro, Maratea -are subjected to more pain, sacrifice, uncomfortable aggravating the disease for achieve decentralized hospital Rionero , the only radiotherapy center in Basilicata.

From time - Massaro says - we are striving for the establishment of a central concrete "Chemotherapy" in Val d'Agri Clinic at the former Pellettieri Viggiano that has been abandoned and thus yet another case of waste. On this proposal, we have acquired the availability of Director General of Crob , Dr.. T-shirt, who explained the feasibility of the excellent idea of the project and the availability of help, by Asp Power, it will request, for the realization of the Center with detachment of highly specialized medical personnel.

If manifest itself by the Governor-Sheikh some attention on an issue of vital importance , so delicate and closely related to the environment we would at least a concrete testimony of the sense of ethics being exploited rhetorically recall.
