He retraces the events dating back to 2021: «The Agapi campus was presented by the same protagonists of today, I remember the meetings with representatives of the University and Ministries, to present a 90 million euro project. What happened to him? What is the truth? Will Reggio have two campuses, or has the first project been put aside in silence? If so, we would like to understand why and how we can go from 90 to 4 million. Where did the 90 million of the Pnrr go?”. Clarity is requested around this issue, so much so that the mayor expressed the request to the Prime Minister, Enzo Marra, to convene an ad hoc session on the future of the training offer.

It made the people of Reggio say: “Let’s look at the real indicators.”
