Protest in Kicevo: Wild landfill in the middle of the city grows
At a peaceful protest in front of the Kicevo Municipality building, Kicevo residents today expressed their outrage over the waste of waste in the halls of the former ceramic plant « Vranestica ». They have warned that this wild landfill has repeatedly been in the mourning or someone, which causes the danger of fire and great air pollution in their city, and, as they have said, no one has solved the problem for years.
According to the citizens, this wild landfill carries city waste and waste from the surrounding settlements.
– On several occasions we have announced on social networks that this gathering has no political color, there is no national or religious sign. We all breathe the same air and we suffer from the landfill situation. This protest had to happen, we had to show our dissatisfaction with the institutions and their attitude towards this long -standing problem. This landfill, which institutions are looking for to call wild, use it daily to delay city waste and surrounding settlements. We have repeatedly been convinced by the institutions that this landfill is only temporary and that the problem of waste disposal will be resolved in a short period, but we still do not see that the work is raised from a dead point. On the contrary, it is noted that the collected waste is increasing and increasing daily. We are witnessing that the landfill has repeatedly or accidentally caught fire, and eight months ago we witnessed a strong fire at the landfill, where the whole city was wrapped by heavy smoke and unbearable stench for three days – said Bojan Miskoski, in his address to the crowd.
The revolted Kichevo residents say they are « extremely disappointed that both the government and the local self -government do nothing to solve this long -standing problem. They are scared for their children’s health, because after every landfill, as environmentally friendly activists say, they are spreading to the toxic, and toxic, The landfill.
