The controversy for the possible public financing to the new Brebemi freeway explodes



"The Brebemi is an extraordinary example of success". With this phrase, pronounced last July taking part to the inauguration of the new freeway A35 Brebemi that connects Brescia to Milan, the president of the Lombardy Region, Roberto Maroni, had evidently made a budget of the outcome of the project of construction of the new started highway artery in 1996. If, for Maroni, the project has had a good resolution, perhaps equally it cannot itself be said for this that it has happened after the cut of the tape. In these last days in fact a controversy for the possible distribution of a public financing to the Brebemi new has exploded that would be necessary in order to cover the greater costs determined from the expropriations and the lacked revenues caused from the insufficient volume traffic.

"They have met to the ministry and in Hush the general one they have established of having to finance the Brebemi, a totally useless work, with money ours". The deputies of the Movement 5 Stars of the Commission have denounced saturday Transports and Infrastructures of the Chamber: "this - they have accused - is the Renzi government: another promise has fallen - they have explained - also, that of the project financing for the Brescia-Bergamo-Milan freeway". According to the deputies of the M5S, according to an agreement stipulated with the Lombardic governor Roberto Maroni, "the financing, pairs to about 300 million, will be poured in great part from the government and a percentage from the Lombardy Region". "On the six lanes of the Brebemi, it is well to remember it - they have evidenced the deputies - are about 20 thousand every day passages against 40 thousand previewed in phase of project and to 60 thousand to reach operatively. And because of the miscalculations and of the lacked returns the toll - they have found - to put will again be all the Italians". Remembering that the Movement 5 Stars had introduced a interrogation parliamentarian signed from the deputies Iannuzzi, Petraroli and De Lorenzis in order to ask confirmation for a defiscalizzazione from 497 million euros and a contribution from 80 million euros, the parliamentarians of the M5S have stated that this interrogation "is exceeded by the truth. And, as - they have concluded - we will always pay all we".

Between the many denunciations to the possible public financing to the highway society there is also that of the trade-union association of the CNA-Fita road haulage: "while in Italy the enterprises that take care of local public transport of the transport goods are in knee to cause also of taxes that grow day after day and continue cuts - it has emphasized CNA-Fita - minister Lupi give other 270 million euros to the concessionaires, this time for Bre.Be.Mi. , the freeway that connects Brescia to Milan. A mission of rescue completed from the minister who us leaves appaled". CNA-Fita has restated how much already said in more occasions about "the perverse mechanism that, with the Ministry of Transportation, allows above all continues financings to rain for the highway concessionaires without no guarantee and without possibility of control and conditioning by the State". "If the government continues to cover similar approaches - Cinzia Franchini has asserted, national president of the CNA-Fita - are clearly that it will not be minimally in a position to throwing again the transports that give years are suffocated by these mechanisms. He is incredible - it has added - that Wolves you cut economic resources where they would serve new measures of support for the Italian enterprises that operate in the transport goods as in local public transport and, contextually, continues in favouring those entrepreneurs, as Gavio and associates, owners of Bre.Be.Mi. that they make of the enterprise risk a real joke at the expense of the contributor. It is the failure of the project financing for the Brescia-Bergamo-Milan freeway where the engagement was that to construct the freeway without money of the State. With these premises - it has concluded the Franchini - the road haulage will not be able to tolerate ulterior cuts to the economic resources, already almost halved, on vital chapters of expense for survival of our companies, as the reimbursement of the octrois on the fuel and the expenses not documented. Of sure after this ulterior demonstration of inability to melt the true knots that always push the economy of the Country in the difficulties, nobody, if it happens, will be able to reproach to the road haulage of being itself stopped to protest for own survival".
