The Berlusconi government without telling anyone has started the privatization of public water. The Parliament voted to Article 23a of Decree Law 112 of Minister Tremonti, who says that the management of water services should be subject to the rules of the economy capitalist.
So the Berlusconi government in Italy has ruled that the water will no longer be a public good but a commodity, and therefore will be managed by multinational companies (which possess the same mineral water).
Already Latin America, Veolia (multinational which operates the local water) has decided to increase the bills of 300%. Consumers who complain, Veolia sent its teams of armed vigilantes and policemen to remove the counters.
The privatization of water that is happening globally will result in the next few years, millions of deaths from thirst in the poorest countries. Man is made of 65% water, and this is what the Italian government is putting in sale. The water gushing from the earth is not a commodity, is a fundamental human right and no one can 'draw appropriate it for illicit profit. Water is the white gold that will fight the next wars. Wars that will be directed by multinationals to which today the government, concerned about the aprons, is selling 65% of our body.
