The minister for regional affairs and autonomies: “and obviously it can also be done with national funds”
PALERMO – “The Bridge over the Strait is a great work that would change the country, and obviously it can also be done with national funds”. Thus Mariastella Gelmini, minister for regional affairs and autonomies, in an interview with “La Repubblica” Palermo edition.
«The problem, even in the past, has never been the resources, but the ideological resistance to the project. Now there are two new elements in favor: the NRRR offers the opportunity to link it to interventions on southern mobility, and many of the political reservations about the work have fallen. It would be shortsighted not to take advantage of the circumstances », says the minister.
«The change of gear of the 5Stelle Movement would be an important fact, but it does not seem to me to be consolidated yet. I believe that they too are realizing that public opinion in the South considers the bridge to be indispensable and that it is unlikely that it will give consent to those who oppose its construction “, he adds.
