(ANSA) - Catanzaro, January 3 - A rubbish emergency in
Calabria, the region south of Campania, shows no sign of abating
despite reassurances from officials as waste overflows into the
streets months after the government intervened.
In November, a special commissioner was named to resolve
the issue.
"For the return of normalcy, we will need a few days," said Vincenzo Speranza at the time.
There are still numerous rubbish heaps, in some cases piled up higher than two meters, in many urban areas, particularly in the territories of Catanzaro and Reggio.
The situation is more commonly associated with Naples, north of Calabria, where waste management is a chronic problem.
