A minister accuses an environmental expert or a journalist working for a foreign company (Russian), or for a local company because it has detected tampering, and opposed to a blatant case violates any environmental and economic sense. What a strange situation!

The Prime Minister accused the civil movement to participate in a conspiracy and adopt the accusations by its very reliable minister who is sure of the credibility of its new partners, neglecting a huge scandal perceived by all those who have worked in this case, except him. Note that although all advisory stated the impossibility of performance in accordance with rational standards, the prime minister, as his minister, insisted to continue this scandal. All this is ridiculous!

It is really ridiculous that whoever is responsible for the accumulation of thousands of tonnes of waste in the streets said at the session of Council of Ministers, as if he reveals a secret of state secrets, as “suspicious matches “were presented by an expert or a journalist, as part of a survey distributed to the public to question the reality of the possibility of implementing the project of waste export to Russia, considering this as a source of accusation or conviction !!! Firstly because the fact to address questions and to exchange correspondence with the party embodies the axiom of journalism. And secondly because we have documented in several of our “headline news”, the letters addressed to friendly environmental associations to ask them for clarification. Similarly, we published all the responses from these organizations. Where is “the secret” … And where is the violation of journalistic work and where is the outrage? Except among officials of the scandal and their attempts to respond?

The situation of the government is strange, as did officials from the waste issue that has not been affected primarily by the nature of the activity of Dutch society as well as the location of its offices in a kitchen in a village the Netherlands, and its falsification of false approval of the State of Sierra Leone !! They did not even shocked today by the capital of the company, “the object of the present crisis” and its sales very modest affairs, nor by its banking status. Note that they have obtained detailed information on this subject showing that the company can not perform a business volume less than the volume presented … This company had old attempts in this area and has not been seen recently following the waste back to Lebanon. His attempts completed by scandals that have imposed his “disappearance”, and the parties are familiar with this !!

The scandals continued … The decision of the Council of Ministers requiring a choice of two companies has been breached. Thus, the choice was limited to one company, the deadlines have passed and the two securities have remained one with a deduction of $ 2.5 million. Then the scandal of falsifying an official document after both greenerea.me and Russia-now.com sites have revealed that the Russian Ministry of the Environment has not issued such a document.

All this did not pursue those responsible for this dossier nor the Prime Minister to question about what is happening. Instead, they were surprised by the professional work and accused those who revealed the case of participating in a conspiracy.

The disaster is the transformation of the basis of the debate to the one who revealed the scandal, how and why? Furthermore the impact of revealing this scandal, not the sandal itself, the fact of covering the debate on the responsibility of those in charge of the case-scandal and responsible for the continuity of the accumulation of garbage in the streets of cities and villages, without any solution … the worse is that the “great leaders” are pretending not to understand where the problem is or what this scandal lies !! This shows the presence of more than one government deficit … but can be a complicity of the main pillars in coverage, participation, justification and the announcement of not understanding the crisis is now the voice of the people ?

Since day one, the views of the participants in greenarea.info have crossed the fact that the optimal formula to solve the waste crisis must go through several essential steps, beginning by imposing a tax on products difficult waste and the adoption of the initial sorting at source, through the compulsory passage that is the establishment of sorting centers, giving a role to the municipalities and civil society in all phases. So at this stage, the final phase will be asked and the track will be selected export or cremation? or burial? or others ??

How a manager or a rational person can put the owners of this approach and the obvious choice and announced in the category of a foreign state or a national or international company?

“If you are not ashamed, say what you want” … a suitable proverb … Those who claim responsibility from us, want that other people support their failure and their scandals, without considering waste piles and smells of slow death …
