The escalating housing crisis in Agrigento has plunged many residents into financial peril. Some have fallen prey to the deceptive Superbonus 110% incentive, ending up with immense debt and unfinished constructions. Andrea Cassaro, one such resident, has been forced to live with his parents for three years due to a stalled construction project. Others have considered demolishing their homes to rebuild them to current energy standards.
Beyond housing, illegal construction has become rampant across the region. While Agrigento stands out as one of the most disciplined territories in terms of demolitions, the issue of illegal constructions demands urgent attention. Cesare Treccarich explains the newly implemented “Save the house” decree and its potential to tackle this problem.
The healthcare system in Agrigento also faces severe challenges. Patients face agonizingly long wait times for essential medical services. Concetta Rizzo, investigating the issue, revealed extensive waitlists for outpatient services, with some procedures taking up to a year or more.
Furthermore, a recent report by Roberto Greco sheds light on the exorbitant salaries of former ARS deputies, burdening the regional budget with over 18 million euros annually. Many of these beneficiaries held public office before 2012.
