«The government is wrong to move forward on the Strait Bridge. He is wrong to insist on a project that needed to be completely rethought, at least. And in any case it is a project that makes no sense at the moment, given the road and railway infrastructures of Calabria and Sicily which are not yet up to the standard of a civilized and modern country.” Thus the leader of the 5 Star Movement Giuseppe Conte, today in Diamante, in the province of Cosenza. “That money – he added – should now absolutely be put as a priority to create a bridge, yes, but on the future of our young people and therefore on schools. Imagine open schools, with computer, language and theater laboratories, sports facilities offered to our young people. Let’s invest in our young people, human capital is our school”.
Conte also spoke about the current situation. «Today even diesel is at 2.5 euros per litre. And what does the government do? Eni intervened to self-calm the skyrocketing fuel prices with a palliative, but what is the government’s strategy? Does it deal with what? Of the veil in schools? Is it a very serious problem? For four years, if he wanted to take care of the schools, he had to make more investments. He should take the money from the bridge over the Strait, 13 and a half billion, and put it in schools where money is needed, funding, not cuts as he is doing. And in any case the Italian emergency is high fuel, high bills, inflation, skyrocketing food spending. It is a government that has not arrived.”
