(Tiper Stock Exchange) – “Long and fruitful meeting”, this morning, between the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Matteo Salvini and the Minister of Economy and Finance Giancarlo Giorgetti. According to what is learned, it was the occasion for “to take stock of the infrastructure in general and the construction sites to be unblocked in particular”. The two Northern League supporters also took advantage of it “for an update on the political situation and on some dossiers in view of the manoeuvre”.
Yesterday, Salvini had anticipated the next steps of the executive. “We’ll give the first signs. You don’t implement the five-year budget maneuver that exhausts electoral commitments, however you set some firm points such as the raising of the threshold of the flat tax, rather than the stop to the Fornero law, the launch of quota 41, a renewed fiscal peace or fiscal truce, and a due and mandatory revision of the citizen’s income will be absolutely understood. It is the first of 5 maneuvers that will give the sign of change, “he said at the event of Il Messaggero, Very future.
An occasion during which the Minister also returned to talk about the Bridge over the Strait: ”Estimates on jobs, because the financial plan for the Strait Bridge dates back to 2000 and needs to be updated to 2022, on a stable basis is closer to 100 than 50,000 jobs. It is clear that these are estimates, but EU co-financing and private investments. We can be an attractive country. I think – he added – that in a year and a half the Bridge will pay for itself. On 5 December I will be in Brussels and I will ask that the Palermo-Berlin corridor, which includes the bridge, be co-financed in an important way. The fifty-year discussion on the bridge has already cost us half a billion euros. It is not the Bridge that solves by itself, for a Calabrian it is perhaps more important to complete the Ionian 106 or the high-speed line in Sicily between Palermo-Catania and Messina”
