“There Liguria was the fastest, as often happens, in defining thecohesion agreement – declared Meloni before signing –. But it is only the first example of a new season of the capacity that Italy will have to spend European funds. We want to represent a responsible nation, capable, when going through difficulties, of not telling the world that it wastes resources but that it is the first and best at spending those resources.”
“We are trying to ensure that Italy, which is too often at the rear in spending European funds, instead becomes a nation that sets an example in this regard” declared Meloni in his speech at the Genoa boat show. And he concluded: “theobjective is not to lose even a single euro because theItaly he can’t afford it.”
“The sea is one of infrastructure more strategic that Italy possesses”, he added. “Last week – Meloni recalled – the floor of the sea. The Government listened and collected the requests coming from the companies. And from the next budget law we will have a connection linked to the maritime economy”. “And with this connection – he assured – we will respond to the requests that come from the sector’s requests”.

Double thanks go to him because it interrupts a long absence from the institutional leaders of our country”, underlined President Toti.
