minister Lupi confirmation the strategicità of the Third Pass for the "system Country"



Yesterday, in the course of an encounter near the Prefecture of Alexandria, the government, for mouth of the minister of Infrastructures and the Transports, Maurizio Lupi, and the Piemonte Region, anticipates with president Roberto Cota and the city council members Ugo Cavallera, Barbara Bonino, Roberto Ravello and Riccardo Molinari, has confirmed the strategicità of the Third Pass of Giovi, the planned one and definitively approved of railway connection to high speed - high ability of 54 kilometers, mostly in gallery, on the director Genova-Milano until Tortona and the director Alessandria-Torino until Novi Ligure. To the reunion the managing directors of Italian Railway Net (RFI) and Italferr, the commissioner of the Cociv (general contractor of the work have participated), local mayors and administrators.

Minister Lupi has emphasized that the new work is strategic for the territory but for the entire Country and has not only exposed the necessity to realize a communication plan in order to supply answers to the local communities on the work and its fallen back for the territory. The president of the Piemonte Region has found that "the Third pass is a work of all the productive system of the North, - Roberto Cota has confirmed - of the more important of the next years for all the Country. Creed - it has added - must be an occasion in order not to repeat some errors made in the starting phase of planning of Turin-Lyon and also in the relationships with the local communities. And it must also be an occasion in order to manage in new and more modern way the realization of infrastructures. Whoever makes politics must look to beyond the coasting trade, the alpine macroregion must second reason a perspective of strategy of all".

In occasion of the Maria Rita Rossa encounter, mayor of Alexandria, has polemizzato with the city council member to the transports of the Region Piemonte, Barbara Bonino, for dismantling of the Retroporto society of Alexandria. "The Bonino city council member - she has accused the mayor - has defined the Retroporto "empty box" forgetting, perhaps, of to have contributed same she to return it such. He has been, in fact, the Bonino city council member to choose of rimodulare with various purpose six million deep already destined FAS to the realization of the road of connection between the port of call goods and the tangential one of Alexandria: road that would have afforded to directly arrive to the tollbooth of Alexandria South from the Port of call. Decision that it has, evidently, eliminated every possibility of interest of investments by private on the area. Private that, naturally, cannot be made cargo of public infrastructures". "She has been still - she has continued Maria Rita Rossa - to return complicated the relationships with the Liguria and to make useless the result of very long and articulated a procedure of chosen that she had characterized, with deliberation of the Harbour Authority of Genoa, the Port of call goods of Alexandria which its retroporto in the Po Plain. To this the responsibility of the Logistic choice of FS joins, that it participated to the society of the Retroporto for I throw again of the Port of call, to ask of the mass in liquidation. And I find inopportune somewhat - it has emphasized the mayor of Alexandria - than the Bonino city council member is expressed in terms of "impossibility of giving satisfaction to the single territory" and of "role of the agents of the territory" from the moment that it has not been anticipates to nobody of the reunions of Slala, except contesting of always to the usefullness and the function. I have the duty to represent the requirements of a city giving priority to the environmental issue and, then, to the development with the rivalorizzazione of the Port of call. He does not escape to nobody as I throw again of the Port of call and the consolidation of the logistics means places of work. In these years, moreover, we have assisted to the depauperamento of the railway connections because of the choices of the managing director of RFI, Mauro Moretti who, eliminating many drafts of connection with the Center and the South Italy, have hit the citizens, pendular and the commercial movements. We - it has concluded Maria Rita Rossa - expect, priority, clear answers on the environmental issue and, then, in case concrete actions not seguissero which the refinancing of viabili infrastructures and the revitalization of the society of the Retroporto, we wonder because we would have to participate to a project that we respect in its national and international valence, but that it does not represent element of I throw again and development for our territory. I recognize with satisfaction the very various attitude of president Roberto Cota and am sure that it will be confirmed by that of the alexandrian representatives in Region who will know to resume the distance that she was started. So as I am trusting, graces also to the open and public support of the parliamentarians Bargero, Borioli, Balduzzi and Lavagno, than the sollicitations made from minister Lupi to its technicians they will carry to the fast opening of a table that it knows to recognize the just role of the centrality of the chief town. A strong chief town, in fact, is useful to all the provincial territory".
