CACCIA ALL'ORO BLU: VAJONT E VANOI, LE COMUNITA' IN RIVOLTA | 01/07/2026

A3 NEWS Veneto 01/07/2026 - LONGARONE - The project to build a new hydroelectric power plant in the Ertano area, with repercussions on the Longaronese area, seems unstoppable. The memory of Vajont cries out for vengeance, and the communities are in revolt. || A formal appeal to the President of the Republic or, alternatively, to the Water Tribunal. There is now a revolt against the green light for the new hydroelectric power plant on the Vajont stream, because when it comes to Vajont, moral values ​​cannot be overlooked. This was reiterated by the citizens present at the public meeting in the Sala Popoli d'Europa, who expressed their opposition to the project, whose benefits, even if they were to be monetized, would be negligible for everyone. The Municipality of Longarone has a clear position. The private project is also on hold because the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region has decided not to subject it to the environmental impact assessment procedure. "Technically," says Padrin, a guest on Ring, "there are no obstacles. But mobilization can certainly foster a different path in the face of the more than 1,900 deaths 63 years ago." But history repeats itself. This was seen in the long battle against the construction of the Vanoi reservoir, desired by the Brenta Land Reclamation Consortium to bring water to the parched plain. - Interviews: ROBERTO PADRIN (MAYOR OF LONGARONE), DAVIDE PANTE (MAYOR OF LAMON) (Report by Tiziana Bolognani) - Follow Antenna Tre on digital terrestrial too!
