Viterbo mayors back studies rejecting national radioactive waste repository plan

The provincial council and the assembly of mayors of Viterbo, convened by the province, approved unanimously the findings of studies and technical analyses on the planned national radioactive waste repository. Forza Italia's Montalto di Castro and Pescia Romana branch said the findings effectively reject the project as designed.

The branch said it followed the mayors' assembly online. It welcomed an announcement by province president Alessandro Romoli to hold a public assembly with associations, committees and citizens, and thanked him for coordinating the mayors. It also noted a plan, announced with provincial councillor Andrea Di Sorte, to organise a public meeting to present the study findings.

Forza Italia said its municipality had followed the issue directly since 2021, adopting a unanimous municipal council motion, preparing observations and holding public discussions. It said engineer Massimo Gobbi was among the technicians who worked with it and is again involved with the province. The mayor of Montalto di Castro attended the mayors' assembly and voted, expressing a wish to continue protecting the territory, the branch said. It said the unanimous vote was an important step but should not be an endpoint.
