«Announcements, promises, catwalks. The Calabrians are tired of hearing about billions that never come, construction sites that do not start and public works used as electoral commercials. And they are even more tired of seeing Matteo Salvini Break -in -law that does not have. The 3 billion of which Salvini boasts today are not the flour of his sack. Are the result of the programming of the previous government, of which the M5S It was part, which defined the highway 106 as a strategic work. In Salvini, on the other hand, we have to remember only one thing: the 7 billion stolen from the state road 106 to pay northern milk shares. Resources that today would allow to complete the modernization of the entire SS106 “. The M5S deputy states in a note Vittoria Baldino.
“Salvini – he continues – went down to Calabria to ‘tell fairy tales’ also on the high speed Salerno -Reggio Calabria. Not only are the funds to get to Praia a Mare, but the same CEO of RFI, Giampiero Strisciuglio, confirmed that it is not a real high speed. Trains will not exceed 200 km/h: a project that knows content for the South, while in the North you travel at 400 km/h ».
«And the list of contradictions does not end there. Salvini – says the M5S parliamentarian – speaks of billions but in the meantime the Calabrian provinces denounce that they do not even have the funds for the ordinary maintenance of the roads. It speaks of rail development, but has removed 40 million euros intended for the electrification of Catanzaro-Melito Porto Salvo, leaving that line in the 19th century: single track, not electrified, and without concrete perspectives of modernization. The truth – concludes Baldino – is that Salvini, every time he talks about Calabria, does it to fault about the bridge over the Strait or to distort the reality of infrastructure. But the Calabrians are not there. Calabria is not the sacrificial lamb of Meloni’s propaganda, Salvini or Occhiuto. The Calabrians want truths, real resources and respect ».
