«Genoa model in the field for the Rome race at Expo 2030»
“A capital must thrive on major international events”. And for this reason, looking beyond the Jubilee of 2025, the government will focus strongly on Rome for theExpo 2030, applying the “Genoa model” to unblock “building sites and carry out major works, without waste and within reasonable times”. Word of Matthew Salvini.
Perfectly placed in the guise of Minister of Infrastructure and Deputy Prime Minister, the Northern League leader dismisses all ambitions in the Po Valley and all political divisions by announcing – the day after the inclusion of 2 billion euros in the Maneuver for Metro C – that Mayor Roberto Gualtieri will see December 6th. On the table, with or without Expo, also a “Rome package”, or rather “Lazio package”, with inside «400 million for the Salaria, another 700 for the Peschiera aqueduct and one billion for 2023 for ordinary maintenance and extraordinary» of the A24/A25.
«We have always ensured maximum attention to the needs of local authorities, also with reference to the Rome Metro. The official numbers have confirmed that we are serious people and keep our word».
«I plan to meet him on Tuesday 6 December: MIT is the home of mayors. As Deputy Prime Minister and Minister I have the duty to confront everyone, regardless of political color: it is no coincidence that I have already met many left-wing mayors such as Tommasi of Verona, the other day I saw the mayor of Lampedusa, after Gualtieri I already have to meet the mayors of Arezzo and Venice and immediately after the president of Anci Decaro».
«The objective, which applies not only to Rome but to all of Italy, is to unblock construction sites and carry out works in safety, without waste and above all within a reasonable time frame. The model is that of Genoa: in Italy we can do great things and we will also demonstrate it with the Jubilee, the 2026 Olympics and Expo 2030. In general, I like to remind you that a capital must also thrive on major international events».
«I speak with numbers: no increase in tariffs for the A24/A25, over two billion for Metro C, 400 million for the Salaria, another 700 for the Peschiera aqueduct. Moreover, 400 million will be committed to the A24/A25 this year and one billion for 2023 for ordinary and extraordinary maintenance”.
“They are committed to ensuring that MIT becomes a pole of attraction for private investment, also thanks to more streamlined and clearer regulations that can also attract funds from abroad”.
«We aim for the involvement of local authorities, targeted investments, no tolerance for abuses. Concrete answer: in the last few hours, MIT has financed 19 interventions against illegal buildings throughout Italy”.
«It was a request from the 5 Star Movement. In Campania there is a situation of widespread illegal activity and bureaucratic slowness that needs to be addressed. Of course, situations of danger or evident environmental damage cannot be tolerated».
“We will find a reasonable agreement.”
«Few and targeted: I anticipate that more funds will be needed for people with disabilities, we have to find the sectors in which to save. I have some ideas…”
«I have been in the ministry for just over a month and I am verifying that too often the funds are there but are not spent. We are streamlining and removing as much bureaucracy as possible. Starting from the 100 commissioned works: whoever takes care of them must be put in a position to make an impact».
«No, I think Giorgia is right to deal with the opposition. Especially when proposals arrive from the other side and not just insults».
“I am convinced that the Lombards will be able to recognize the efforts and good governance of the League and the center-right despite difficult and dramatic years”.
«The League will vote consistently with the centre-right, as we have always done. Obviously, we are very concerned about the evolution of the conflict. But I am convinced that Italy will be able to play a leading role in the peace process».
