Insufficient funds and the deadline set for December 31, 2026. Two factors that risk ruining the relaunch of infrastructures imagined in Calabria thanks to the resources of the PNRR.There are 3.2 billion euros at stake, almost 37 percent of the total investment planned by the Recovery and Resilience Plan for Calabria (as can be seen from the data made public by the Region), which should be used to implement 20 projects: 18 for the improvement of the railway network and 2 aimed at intermodality and integrated logistics. But even this important financial allocation seems small compared to the cost estimated by Anas for the modernization of the State Road 106, which stands at over 13 billion euros, almost as much as is estimated to be needed for the construction of the Bridge over the Strait. “If we were not to opt for the request for a postponement of the deadlines – reasons Maria Elena Senesesecretary of the Uil Calabria – we believe it is difficult, if not impossible, that the projects covered by the Pnrr funds can see the light by 2026″. With the mockery of having to return the unused money to the European Union. “In the face of this enormous amount of money – adds Senese – the limited time for the implementation of the Pnrr funding and their unbalanced programming make us glimpse a bleak future for a region that is unable to stop the serious hemorrhage of young people”. A paradox, in short.
