To 22 years from the first reduction in square, mondays the enterprises of Genoa will return to manifest, this time in order to invoke the opening of the yards of the Third Pass



We have tried all: this is the last option. So the president of Confindustria Genoa, Giovanni Calvini, explains because the entrepreneurs have given appointment for next monday to hours 10,15 in square De Ferrari, to the center of the capital of Liguria, in order to head then towards the Prefecture and to deliver to the Francesco Musolino prefect a document addressed to the government speeding up giving it start of the work for the realization of the Third Pass of Giovi, work - the manufacturers emphasize - that is essential member of project 24 of the European net TRIES let alone vital for the estate and the development of the Italian economy.

A protest manifestation, therefore, than sight to unblock the current situation of stall. The government has repeatedly restated that the opening of the yards is prevented exclusively by the composition of the litigation in existence between Italian Railway Net (RFI) and general contractor the Cociv ( on 21 June 2011). Resolved this controversy - second the executive - the work leaves. According to others, between which the senator Enrico Musso who has introduced in merit a interrogation to the minister of Infrastructures and the Transports ( on 27 June 2011) - the scene is more complex.

For Genoa Confindustria the work can be under way only if the government is engaged to guarantee the execution of according to constructive lottery of the project, that he previews the finding of economic resources for 1,1 billion euros. Substantially, in short, the same engagement that Cociv would have asked in order to decide itself to open the yards.

However he is - the association of the genoese manufacturers supports - the government must give course at work. "We feel ourselves decidedly taken the mickey out from this situation", the initiative of programmed protest for monday has said this morning Calvini introducing. "We are exasperated", it has added. "Some day it makes - it has explained - in reached we have been said that we have tried them all. It does not remain that to come down in road".

"It is a singular form of protest", it has confirmed Carlo Castellano, president of Esaote let alone president and promoter of Dixet, the genoese district of the electronics and the advanced technologies, and supporter of the monday manifestation. Singular, certainly, but not unknown. Indeed, there is a tie between the next reduction in square of the entrepreneurs and the first protests of this type carried out from the genoese companies. In March 1989, when, shipping, operating shipping agents economic and professionals of Genoa came down in via XX September in order protesting against the block of the activity of the port caused from strikes of the camalli against the decisions of minister Prandini, in procession were the father of Giovanni Calvini, Adrian, then president of the harbour users.

Monday will not come down in road against someone or something. "We do not say not to nobody", it has specified junior Calvini. We only ask that start to a work is given - has evidenced - that is a lot important even if is seen from the single point of view of the occupation generated from the constructive phase. But at stake, besides places of work of the yards (5,000) essential ones in this period of crisis, are a lot more also for the single capital of Liguria: "on the Third Pass - it has confirmed Castellan - a decisive game for Genoa is being played". If it completely remains cut outside from the high railway speed - it has emphasized - Genoa is completely isolated.

Genoa, in short, risks to lose a train anything but figuratively: the monday manifestation - Castellan has restated - "is outside from the normal context because we are in an exceptional moment".

To the manifestation they have given to own adhesion the main categories of the enterprises, of the economic operators, the traders and the craftsmen - Young Auks, Ascom-Confcommercio, Assagenti, Cna, Confartigianato, Confesercenti, Dixet, Group Reunited, Spediporto - and have confirmed their support the representatives of the lawyers and the commerces graduate.

A support to the action decided from Genoa Confindustria arrives also from the representatives of the workers: Fillea Cgil Genoa, Filca Cisl and Feneal Uil Genoa in fact have manifested satisfaction for "as also the entrepreneurs and the representatives of local the productive categories are making promoters of public initiatives as that programmed to Genoa for next monday in support of realization of the Third Pass". "It is important in fact - they have observed the representatives of the workers - than, as sped up for a long time from the labor organizations of category finally, gives the start to this great work. To this end it is necessary to put fine to the diatribe between railroads and concessionary society that by now lasts from too much time penalizing the genoese economy and the Country". "It is important moreover - they have found Fillea Cgil Genoa, Filca Cisl and Feneal Uil Genoa - than the start of the work sees engaged the enterprises and the local labor where in two years they have gotten lost beyond two thousand units. It is necessary to avoid for example what it is happening, in the execution of work of the genoese railway node where, in the yards, a marginal presence of enterprises and local workers is recorded returning necessary actions so times to favor the occupation in the territory". "It is necessary at last - they have concluded the unions - than the Liguria Region follows the example of the Piemonte Region, which has to the sieve a regional law in order to favor the realization of the great works with the contribution of the local enterprises with effects directed on throws again of the woven one of the local economy".
