Augusta politicians demand transparency over hazardous waste landfill

In Augusta, political representatives from AVS and M5S have called for a public meeting on September 30 to address the ongoing controversy regarding a special and hazardous waste landfill in the Marcellino district.

The organizers report that despite a popular petition signed by 942 citizens submitted on August 3, local institutions have remained silent. They claim that the municipal statutes require a response within thirty days, yet nearly two months have passed without a formal position from the mayor or the city council president. The group is seeking transparency and clarity regarding the impact of the landfill on public health and the environment.
