“The survey prepared by the Calabria Consumer Federation clearly confirms how Calabrian citizens are treated like second-class citizens and must always suffer injustices and unequal treatment compared to the rest of the peninsula. As disconcerting as the cost of train tickets to get to Calabria during the Christmas period, from August 2024, it recorded an abnormal increase of up to 96.66% with timing – as for the Turin-Reggio Calabria route in Intercity – which even exceed twenty hours of travel: an odyssey”. The deputy declares it Elisa ScutellaM5S group leader in the EU Policy Commission.
“We are talking about people who return to their loved ones, workers who for work reasons live away from their families for months and months, many students who experience the sacrifice of studying alone and far from their parents, or people who they have to go to Calabria for any other reason, including tourism. Obviously, this “luxury” is allowed to those very few who can afford it. But how does a parent, who already faces heavy sacrifices for university and rent, explain it to his son. year the money for the tickets is very high and that can’t you financially send him the money to buy the tickets? I immediately submitted a question to Minister Salvini to intervene as soon as possible for the Calabrian citizens too.”
