Today to the Parliament the minister of Infrastructures and the Transports, Maurizio Lupi, informing the assembly on the judicial events that have interested some managing of its ministry and the yards of the so-called "great works", he has confirmed own resignation. "I leave the government - he has declared - head held high, looking to you in the eyes, will continue to make mine it must, as it is right to make it in Parliament".
Wolves have emphasized that the reports of last the three days that regard it "speak almost two years about investigation, of thousands of pages with the contents of the wiretaps and the decision not to inquire me because - it has evidenced - against much investigative material, the Public Prosecutors - not I, than very knew not to have nothing store clerk of illicit - have not ravvisato nothing in my conduct that could be persecuted".
The minister has explained also the reasons that have induced it not to remove from the assignment of head of the technical structure of Ercole Incalza mission, recently place to the arrests within an inquiry of the judges of Florence on a turn of corruption in the great works. Wolves, remembering that It is imminent occupied that assignment as a result of public selective procedure and with expiration on December 31, 2015, has supported that the reasons for which has not removed it from that role "reside in the fact that, as a result of a deepened preliminary investigation of its position and also on sollicitations many times over made here in Parliament by the group parliamentarian of the Movement 5 Stars, I have been able to verify as It is imminent, in the several penal procedures that has interested it, does not have some decision of sentence quickly, neither for the cases that have been concluded for prescription of the crime, neither some disciplinary procedure under the responsibility of the ministers who had preceded me. I consider this - it has added - necessary an objective element for a person that, as me, it believes in Rule of law and the presumption of innocence".
As a result of resignation of minister Associazione of the Italian Ports (Assoporti) and the General Confederation Italiana of the Transports and the Logistics (Confetra) has emphasized the necessity that continues the iter of reform of the law in harbour matter and is defined new the Slowly National one of the Portualità and the Logistics.
Assoporti has manifested appreciation for the job carried out from minister Lupi, but it has expressed "hard worry" for the iter of the harbour reform: "we hope - the president of the association of the Italian Harbour Authorities has explained, Pasqualino Monti - than is not made useless the carried out job for a balanced reform of which the ports they need. It is necessary also to escape again is to the temptations that still exist to leave all as it is, are to annul the made job adopting traumatic solutions, to out of the traced distance of reform. Solutions that could deteriotate in serious way the situation compromising the efforts that the Italian portualità is putting into effect with success for throws again of the competitiveness of the ports and the Country".
For the president of Confetra, Nereo Marcucci, "in the end of frenzied days in the course of which, as he finds Michele Serra lucid, he would have had to prevail the legal civilization from we claimed (than does not preview impunity of the powerful ones and he does not preview the fury forcaiolo) must return to the center of the attention of all, above all of the government, the necessities of the Country. I wish therefore with force - Marcucci has asserted - that the process of modernization of the national portualità and the logistics is concluded. The job of the intentional commission of technicians from minister Lupi in order to put into effect the will of the Parliament is finished for a long time. Translate it in norms of immediate performance - it has concluded the president of Confetra - can contribute to the economic resumption graces to a context more favorable and to the saturation of the ports and the logistics of the Europe north".
