Taking part to the debate that has been carried out today in the regional legislative assembly, with the approval of a motion against the downgrading of the doric harbour port of call, the regional city council member to the Ports, Paola Giorgi, have emphasized that an eventual downgrading of the port would constitute "a not condivisibile choice", that would risk "to penalize not only the city of Ancona, but all the regional economy, in a moment in which the centrality of the Ionic Adriatic macroregion - of which the Region Marche, with the action of president Spacca he is motor - is recognized by the same programming of the European Union".
