Mayors Numana and Sirolo, at least twenty-year concessions are needed
(ANSA) – NUMANA, FEBRUARY 18 – The managers of the bathing establishments of Numana and Sirolo, the ‘pearls’ of the Conero Riviera, ready to battle the hypothesis of canceling the concessions, in a couple of years, advanced by the government in past days. “We will defend ourselves by facing possible auctions, making it clear on the territory the importance of the management of the territory itself by those who built it and live there”, say the president Luca Paolillo, the deputy Federico Gigli and the councilor Maria Grazia Tiffi dell ‘Riviera del Conero Lifeguards Association.
“After years of sacrifices and investments, it is unthinkable that someone could come today and take everything ready,” adds Paolillo. Which identifies the minimum duration of a concession in “20-30 years, only in this way can one imagine having a return on the investment made”.
The mayors of the two cities have lined up on the side of the bathing establishments of this splendid stretch of the Marche sea, which has 42 family-run establishments, promising to “take action at all levels so that the government revises its position”, says Filippo Moschella, mayor of Sirolo, who speaks of “inattention to our managers, the true guardians of our beaches”. The mayor of Numana, Gianluigi Tombolini, points out that “other countries, such as Spain, have long since solved the problem of state-owned concessions and have not been affected by the Bolkestein directive. It is said that Europe is asking us for it, but we are Europe and therefore as a European I would like to be at the negotiating tables of the EU and not suffer passively “. (HANDLE).
