Cipsi e Emmaus Italia aderiscono alla denuncia e alle proposte sulla “crisi idrica” fatte da Rosario Lembo del Comitato Italiano Contratto Mondiale dell'Acqua. "Le priorità e le questioni più urgenti da affrontare sono: acqua per tutti sul pianeta Terra, e lotta alla miseria" ha dichiarato Guido Barbera, presidente del CIPSI. “E' una delle conseguenze del voler ostinarsi a considerare l'acqua come qualsiasi altra merce. L'acqua è un bene comune che appartiene a tutti" precisa Graziano Zoni, presidente di Emmaus Italia.

Il presidente della Regione Puglia, Nichi Vendola ha annunciato che Riccardo Petrella del Contratto Mondiale sull'acqua sarà il nuovo presidente dell'Acquedotto pugliese. Questa scelta politica scongiura la fase di privatizzazione che era considerata la conclusione del processo di “societarizzazione”, avvenuto nel 1999, che ha trasformato l’Ente Autonomo Acquedotto Pugliese in una società per azioni. Una buona notizia arriva anche da Napoli dove la gara di appalto per l’affidamento della gestione ai privati dei servizi idrici di Napoli e Caserta è stata sospesa. Dopo la forte pressione arrivata dalle organizzazioni partenopee costituitesi in un ‘Comitato Civico in Difesa dell’acqua’ si è ottenuta una presa di posizione> da parte del Sindaco di Napoli e del Presidente della Provincia di Caserta a cui si sono aggiunti 30 Sindaci . L’assemblea Ato a quindi deciso di sospendere la decisione fino al 15 settembre studiando nel mente la possibilità di una gestione "in house".
