On Thursday, September 17, 2026 at 7:30 PM, in Piazza XX Settembre in Monopoli, a citizens' assembly will be held to say no to the Marseille oil pipeline project, which involves the passage of the underground pipeline through the city. The meeting is promoted by the Municipal Administration, which has taken a firm position against the project, and aims to inform the public about the project's status, the environmental and urban planning criticalities it would entail, and the initiatives undertaken to block it. The pipeline, if built, would cross the Monopoli area with significant impacts on agriculture, landscape, and safety. During the assembly, it will be possible to delve into the reasons for the 'no', discuss with administrators, and jointly define the next mobilizations. Participation is free and open to all citizens.

Time: 7:30 PM Free participation. Promoted by the Municipal Administration of Monopoli.
