"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, yesterday 60 000 Italians demonstrated in Val di Susa against the absurd project to build the Lyon-Turin high-speed rail link (‘TAV’). As an MEP I condemn all forms of violence, whether the violence of the rioters who created disorder yesterday or the violence of the Italian members of parliament and ministers who today tried to liken the peaceful ‘No TAV’ people to the ‘Black Bloc’. Everyone knows that the high-speed rail link in Val di Susa will never be built. Can an area be militarised for 20 years? This is the result of failing to listen to the people and should be a lesson to the EU. Works are done with the citizens for the citizens, not for party political committees on the left and right. The deadlines imposed by the Commission for the provision of the European contribution, amounting to EUR 662 million, have expired. Mr Kallas should decide to withdraw the funding immediately. With these extensions, Italy is enjoying privileges not granted to other Member States. Therefore, I urge the Committee on Petitions to send a delegation to Val di Susa as soon as possible to establish what is happening and listen to local people. The European Parliament should not abandon these citizens and their arguments."@en1
