The first time I went to Sarroch. What is now Sarroch. May 26, 2009 day of mourning!
The first time I went to Sarroch, I was excited. Sarroch for me is the country's Nuraghe Antigori, cross and delight of my PhD, Nuraghe Nuraghe of contact between the World and the Mycenaean civilization, which stands on a steep hill overlooking the Bay of Angels and ... the SARAS.
Nuraghe From the hill you try to imagine an ancient port, a Pacific port, a meeting place of nations, a glimmer of contact between peoples of antiquity, but it is difficult, so difficult.
The archaeological and historical fantasies ruminations on what had be a magnificent coastal area will be removed from a monster that rises industrial bully, from silo oil and chimneys are the seaside boundary of a nature that is untouched toward the mountains. A few tens of kilometers is a reserve of Monte Arcosu, a few kilometers there is Nora. Behind the monsters of Saras, there is the Nuraghe Antigori one hand, and the Nuraghe Sa Domo 'S'Orku and the other: either to enclose the strip of land facing the sea on which stands the source Working for several countries of southern Sardinia. The
May 24 La Nuova Sardegna has compiled a ranking the richest countries on the island: Sarroch has won first place!
industry killer has earned first place in a village that is located in one of the poorest areas of the island. Two weeks ago, dozens of people have linked a video on Massimiliano Mazzotta FaceBook and the main social networks entitled " ILO", video documentary on the SARAS Sarroch. Today May 27 we mourn Pierluigi Solinas, Daniele Bruno Melis and Muntoni, three workers who were working right there three men of 26, 28 and 52 years who came alive inside a silo and the silo have gone dead, in an attempt to save between them. Accident? It is a huge disgrace. Fatality? No, no fatalities ... The fatality in a petrochemical industry in 2009, is predictable, entirely predictable. Who will mourn them mothers and wives, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters and co-workers, those colleagues who continue to work there, hearing about their blue-collar, silent and acrid smell white death could strike at any moment too. One of the workers, with anger and contempt, shouting outside the gates " acted Mortus per thousand euros", "They died for € 1000. What are 1000 €? A crumb with which you pay two bills and the rate of a car. Why in Sardinia, with 1000 € you pay your bills ENEL and gas, that despite the large petrochemical SARAS, are the most expensive in Italy. But the three dead, three of the many that are key to enrich lists of white deaths in Italy. are three men in a month, under the sun and crystal clear water and Chia Domus de Maria, amid the scent of sunscreen and summer do not remember anyone ... let alone a little 'more North. Already on the beaches of Villasimius nobody would think of them, and in Costa Smeralda, Sarroch will be a country far, far away in space and time. In the heat of August, the sorrow and the pain will be the families of Villa S. Peter locked in their homes, with the windows down, remember the inexplicable tragedy ... while the owners are on vacation while the island pullulerà of holidaymakers. Of course, the giant Moratti, Inter's football in front of the prosperous year, a similar Digrazia not wanted, just not wanted. He ruined the party, or has brought us back to reality? The lives of these three men, ascended into heaven and descended into hell, or rather I should say, thunder at a particular time. And here are the messages of condolence, and here is the proximity of politicians, administrators and all those who during the week following the incident tear their hair showing pain and tears ... Between 2 months, no one will speak more of them in two months there will be construction sites where safety can be done without it, places of work where, if the employee refuses to work because of lack of security will be replaced by a another, where the risk is perhaps a sign of masculinity and strength ... where, I regret to say, will likely repeat of this shameful script and for what? For 1000 € or half, to enjoy the dignity of the First Article of the Constitution. To be able to feel "worker", a man with dignity, with sacrifice and sacrifice lives in dignity, because he knows to have a job. But if Sarroch is famous among archaeologists for us in Sardinia and the Mycenaean history buffs is the island country symbol of the arrival of the great heroes of Homer's' Aegean that in the twelfth century. BC lapped the shores of the South, leaving products of outstanding invoices, in peace and serenity, is now a place of gray, cold and silent. Nuraghe Antigori have looked at the Saras as a rotten place of death, in which the products elite are not the clay Figulina-turned, but rotten and smelly oils, so that they enrich the country, but that case, when you least expect it, they die ... This is also history, history of the area. A sad story you need to remember. is not enough to express condolences, sorry but no use! _____________________________________________________________________________________
From Blog Sardinia by Daniel Puddu
"The Saras (on wikipedia ) is a refinery, the refinery rather Italy's largest and one of the survivors Europe's largest , has a refining capacity 15 million tons of oil, that is 300,000 barrels of crude oil, mostly from Libya, 15% of Italian refining capacity ( source Saras ) . Needless to say it 's largest enterprise of the whole island , thousands and thousands of employees , including induced Needless to say that every year pay millions of euro in taxes in Sardinia, as the island has maintained the registered office, needless to say, devastated the coastal territory where he resides, a real city oil leaning against the country Sarroch , a sort of valley, a small bay to the sea, where the fumes tailings lie without being able to run away, a terrible stench that constantly surrounds the whole country .. with the constant nightmare of some incident that will sweep away .. look the photo below, the town's houses are attached to the tanks of the refinery.
Well these days is very serious thing happened a a documentary by the director and producer Massimiliano Mazzotta , entitled OIL complaint and that the high incidence of cancer among the workers and the inhabitants of the land near the refinery Moratti family, that had to be screened in room Nanni Loy ERSU was blocked by a phone call came from Municipality of Cagliari that called for "clarification" ( sources with a large press to link internal , seen on ladridimarmellate.blogspot.com ) . The public prosecutor has opened a dossier on the activities of Saras and alleged impact on the health of workers and residents of Sarroch (Ca). One thing is certain, that the Saras offers many jobs can not be an excuse for a lowering of the guard about the health of citizens (see full report on public health Sardinian close to plants at risk), this documentary should be the starting point for further epidemiological analysis, and if things really be so .. well .. technologies exist to limit the environmental impact , that Saras will adopt it, instead of showing green fields and grazing cows on his site .. 
. Evidently with crisis of chemistry in Sardinia no one has wanted to add new problems to existing fact is that:
Censorship is never the solution , especially since that civil court has now found no ground for the spread of the documentary. "
