Mountains of Trash Pile up in Naples

I watch French television, in theory to improve my French, but also because they occasionally discuss gems like this . Evidentially, no one has collected the trash in Naples since December 21, since there is no place to put it. Obviously people are protesting like mad that their city is literally disappearing beneath a mountain of trash. The cause? Every time the government tries to open a new dump, people oppose it being located in their neighborhood. The prime minister has responded by “calling for ‘unity’ and warning that finger-pointing was making residents have even less faith in the government’s ability to deal with the crisis. ”

    Apparently the feds are promising a solution.
