(Finance) – The Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and the governor of Calabria Roberto Occhiuto they signed the agreement for the 2021-2027 Development and Cohesion Fund, in the presence of the Minister for European Affairs, Cohesion Policies and the Pnrr, Raffaele Fitto.
The objective is to spend the resources and spend them in the best way, within a strategy, this is how the Southern decree for the use of cohesion funds was born”, said Meloni who also wanted to vindicate the Government’s action compared to the valorization of the South which does not pass, for example, from the Citizenship Income” which “is the response of those who don’t believe in the South”.
Among the funds for Calabria there are “the 300 million euros allocated by law to the construction of the Bridge over the Strait of Messina, what many like to say will never be done, it is impossible, I am convinced that impossible is the word used by those who don’t have the courage and don’t want to work, because for those who have the courage and the desire to work, things get done”
The Prime Minister also seems to want to reply to the president of Campanito De Luca which brought 700 mayors from the South to Rome to protest against it Differentiated Autonomy: “The prerequisite for the realization of differentiated autonomy is the identification of the essential levels of performance. Defining those levels requires guaranteeing those levels even to those who were not guaranteed until now. Furthermore, differentiated autonomy does not mean taking away from a Region in order to give to another, because it is an issue of relationship between the State and the Regions, and the gap is created between capable administrations and thoseand not capable, not between North and South. There is not an attempt to weaken at all, but an attempt to strengthen.”
“It is clear that we defend our rights not by bowing our heads but by fighting to respect the rules”the president has repeated several times in recent days DeLucaannouncing the demonstration in Rome “against the government’s plan for differentiated autonomy”, and “against the blocking of the Development and Cohesion Fund”.
