Napoli, Italy Garbage Crisis

It's about time.. The southern part of the lovely peninsula now turning into a pile of dump. *The garbage crisis that left tons of waste rotting on the streets around the southern city of Napoli is now facing legal action, as the European commission decided to bring the case against Italy on the failure to handle the collection and disposal of the garbage. Napoli and the surrounding region of Campania had to deal with the garbage problems for nearly 15 years and it spread when the Italian government closed one of the working dumps on December. Prime minister Silvio Berlusconi has promised repeatedly to resolve this garbage crisis during his election campain and showed that the government is taking the issue seriously by demanding his first Cabinet meeting in Napoli. ニュースアニメ「イタリア・ナポリのごみ拾い」 戦後６２代目の首相に就任したベルルスコーニ元首相（７１）の当面の最優先課題は、長期化しているナポリのごみ放置問題。ナポリ市が州都のカンパニア州では昨年から、処理能力を超えたゴミが街にあふれ、不衛生な状態が続いている。なにしろゴミ問題のため、ナポリを訪れる観光客が減り、ホテル業界は苦境に陥り、ナポリ地区の特産品である水牛の生チーズ「モッツァレラ」も売れ行きが半減するありさま。首相は、ごみ問題解決まで内閣の活動の場をローマからナポリに移すと述べた。この間は首相もナポリに居住、閣議も同地で開くとか。
