Wolves: “I have already lost two years
you could not wait any longer,”

After Comitatone: “With proper dialogue Orsoni, Twisting best guess.” Minister: the Moses goes over. Commissioner decides Canton

VENICE – “At the meeting I clearly said it was no longer tolerable continue not to decide, you could not lose any more time. For two years it was decided, that’s not how it was wanting in Venice. ” Maurizio Lupi, Minister of Infrastructure, has been the main supporter of the channel Twisting in the government. The go-ahead on Friday Comitatone of the new channel is in good part due to him.

Minister, the Twisted Way to go, but remain standing even the other assumptions. It is not a solution in half? “The technical group was at work by mid-April. We questioned everything, reviewed all projects, dialogue with all parties. It was verified that technically the only proposal is amenable to the Twisting Way, which encompasses all of the environmental and economic needs. We have identified a clear path and within 90 days we will have the results of the evaluation. If in these three months would advance other proposals, we have no prejudices: the important thing is that they are not just ideas, but technically sound proposals. ”

Three months of Via, 18 for the achievement. The channel will be ready for the season 2016, as requested by the companies? “The Clia came several times to talk to me. They want certain times and yesterday we gave a positive signal. Then, once you set the date, they will be organized. Venice is an important asset for this are available to support part of the cost of the new channel. “

And in the meantime, what happens? “From 1 January 2015 there will be a ban on ships over 96,000 tons. It ‘a sacrifice, but now there are certain times. ”

He said that for two years has not been decided. Paolo Costa recalled having presented the first draft of the Twisting in March 2012 were two years down the drain? “The time for dialogue is never thrown, then if you decide. Of course I can not fail to note that if the Via Twisted had made it in 2012 rather than in 2014, today the situation would be quite different. ”

The main opponent was the former mayor of Twisted Orsoni. On Friday, the commissioner Zappalorto did not vote. In Venice, someone speaks of “blitz of August” with the city without the mayor-elect. ‘Waiting for the next spring would mean permanently lose the cruise industry. You have to deal with reality, the best is the enemy of the good. How to Orsoni, we always talked properly. The convening of the first Comitatone April is also due to him, as the inclusion of the theme of Marghera. ”

But she imagines that one day the ships will arrive in the industrial area? “We have always said there is a prospect of short-term and long-term. Today, the best guess is the Twisting while Marghera was not practicable, but lose the vocation of freight port. In the future, with the offshore terminal, Marghera will have a new vocation. ”

Who will make the race for the new channel? “The Port Authority.”

Behind the Scenes speak a heated discussion with his colleague Dario Franceschini. “The minister has rightly Franceschini instances of the Ministry of Culture, I those of Infrastructure and Transport.”

The Venetian Table and the third lane of the A4 were in the decree “Unlock Italy”, then disappeared. What has happened? “The Tav from Brescia to Trieste is a top priority for our government. We unlocked, even with the Memorandum of Understanding on the node of Vicenza. Ditto the third lane. Unlock the Italian needed to unlock the works substandard, others need to be funded and cantierate. In the law of stability there will be money for all the other works. ”

The Consorzio Venezia Nuova will the police? “We as a government we can only say that Moses is a fundamental work that must be completed. The consortium we initiated a due diligence that is almost finished and I think by the end of the month we make decisions. The job of the president dell’Anticorruzioe Raffaele Cantone is a different thing, he has full powers, is autonomous and independent. ”
