Veneto Zaia: “Vicenza did not find yourself underwater because of prevention. We want a Marshall plan at nationwide stage”
Luca Zaia raises the alarm on the local weather. After the heavy rains of the previous couple of days in Vicenza, the governor of Veneto asks for a intervention on the nationwide stage. “It’s time to start out – says Zaia to Il Corriere della Sera – the piano Marshall towards them floods. Starting with a easy consideration: it’s higher to spend a billion on prevention reasonably than two, or who is aware of what number of, to restore the injury. I – explains Zaia – take into account it my baptism of fireside as governor the flood between October and November 2010. I had by no means confronted one thing like this: 235 municipalities flooded, 10,040 households and companies underwater. Prime Minister Berlusconi, Bossi came around… That’s the place the thought was born of the Marshall Plan”.
“Of what – continues Zaia – which many then thought-about a utopia. Also as a result of no hydraulic works had been carried out for 80 years. I known as some consultants and so they got here up with a 2.7 billion plan, which we did not have. But step-by-step… 2,400 building websites open and 23 giant rolling basins of which the good majority are already functioning. The result’s that, regardless of the rains of the previous couple of days, Vicenza didn’t find yourself beneath water like then. Now I ask the federal government to observe the “Veneto mannequin”. You want one nationwide coverage towards floods. The local weather is an emergency“.
