«I expect the government to continue to pay attention to Calabria, in particular in terms of infrastructure». The President of the Region declared it Roberto Occhiuto on the sidelines of the meeting promoted in Catanzaro by Fratelli d’Italia for the three years of the Meloni government.
The governor announced that he has “a real shopping list” for the relaunch of the region. «One of the priorities – he explained – is the project, launched in collaboration with the Minister of Business Adolfo Ursoto move one billion investments to the Gioia Tauro area. It would be an enormous result because it would allow us to relaunch a strategic area for the logistics of the entire South.”
Eyed he then placed the emphasis on large railway works: «It is essential to complete the high-speed connection to Praia a Mare, which would save half an hour of travel to Rome. I suggested the possibility of remodulating funds intended for safety, considering the railways a national strategic asset.” On roads, he recognized that “the issue is more complex, because in Europe investments in road traffic are considered secondary to rail traffic”, but added that he had already received “assurances from the government for the modernization of the Cosenza-Altilia section of the motorway”, also announcing that “work for the Cosenza interchange will start shortly”.
On the sidelines of the meeting, the president also confirmed the political agreements for the composition of the new regional council: «We have already spoken about the council with Fratelli d’Italia. Their advisors will be Giovanni Calabrese And Antonio Montuoro».
