Out of 32,424 properties affected by demolition orders, almost 90% have not yet been executed. On average, 247 slaughter orders were issued in each coastal municipality. In Campania in the last fifteen years, not even 2% is reached.

These are some of the data presented by Legambiente when Goletta Verde, the historic environmentalist vessel traveling this year against the enemies of the sea, passes through Campania. Legambiente volunteers exposed the banner 'Hands off the coast' to reiterate the urgency of restoring legality along the Italian coastal areas.

In particular, according to Legambiente there are 32,424 demolition orders issued from 2004 to 2018 in just over 20% of the Italian coastal municipalities that responded to the 'Abate the abuse' survey. "Of these however - Legambiente reports again - only 3,651 have been carried out, that is with the restoration of the places and the abatement of the abusive artifact: in practice just over 11%. And if in the internal areas the average of the demolition orders is of 23 to the municipality, moving to the sea, the data increases tenfold, reaching 247 for each municipality, confirming the fact that illegal abetting along the coast is quantitatively the majority. "

"We are faced with a shameful page of Italian history that has produced and fueled illegality and changed the features of entire areas of the country - says the national president of Legambiente, Stefano Ciafani - there is no other solution, against building abuses the the best deterrents are demolitions and certainly not new amnesties ".
