April 22, 2011
This morning Luigi Grillo (Pdl), president of the Commission Lavori of the Senate, has announced that the start of the work for the realization of the Third railway Pass Genoa-Milan could be imminent. The senator has announced that the Consortium Integrated Connections Fast (Cociv) "has introduced a controproposta to Railroads", having specified that this last "it he is examinee" and that the technical organs of the railway company "judge it very interesting".
THE ITALICS
There were things in which the Indians of America they never did not mistake. Between these: to make to arrive the herds of bisons in their territories of hunting and making to rain on their sunny lands. They used an infallible stratagem: the propitiatory dance.
To their times the world that considered of being civilized already did not believe more in the effectiveness than these pagani rituals. However not there was time that the dance of the bisons did not attract exterminated extended of bovines and almost always the rain fell to washbowls when the Indians invoked it with their ritual.
Perhaps they could not be defined civilized, but sure much redskin they were smart.In order to demonstrate to the members of the tribe the their certain qualities of shamans or for giving test also to the white settlers that were most powerful medicines men the Indians they used the simplest trick:they did not interrupt the dances until the arrival of the buffalos or the heavy shower.
Also some Italian politicians are tenacious. Or perhaps they have studied history, customs and customs of the native Americans.
B.B.
The start of the work of the first constructive lottery of the new railway draft to high speed/high ability between Genoa and Milan, that they are worth 750 million euros on the six billions of the entire work and that they are approved of at the end last year by the Interministerial Committee for Economic Planning (CIPE) ( on 18 November 2010), discord is in fact blocked from on litigations in existence between general contractor Cociv, that it is participated by Integrated Impregilo, Maire Tecnimont, CER, Connections Fast and Italian Society for Water Conducts and that it must open the yards, and the society Italian Railway Net (RFI) of the group Railroads of the State.
"In order to understand the importance of this new fact" - Grillo has said remembering that all the institution are in agreement on the start of the work - we must remember that "it is necessary that the Railroads and the concessionary society, the Cociv, are come to an agreement on the integrating action, that is practically the real contract that brings up-to-date the costs of the work and the tempistica, and defines also the matter of the litigation. In so far as - it has explained - it had been a grounding and from more than 12 months is being discussed. Now finally, of forehead to a proposal of the Railroads, the Cociv has made a controproposta and I I believe that in a matter of days he will arrive himself, I hope, to an understanding. To that point they will be able to begin the work. If it will be accepted by the Railroads, or if it is necessary to make another encounter in order to still file the things that divide the two counterparts, once signed the integrating action not will be more obstacles at the opening of the yards. And we are almost to the goal".
"Obviously - he has concluded Grillo - I very often am tacciato of optimism. Yes, I am by nature optimistic and I beat myself because the things go in the just direction. But after to have suffered for months, years and to have more made than eight deliberations of the CIPE, to have defended with the teeth the appropriation of 500 million initially, than now they have become 750 million, I would find absurdity that the Railroads refuse the proposal of the Cociv so as I would find absurdity that the Cociv, than in this moment needs job because the Impregilo - that she is the greater shareholder - needs to work in a moment of crisis as the current one, is not available to realize an agreement that allows to cantierare more than 500 million work".
