AP of Livorno rejects the accusation of do-nothing policy turned from the mayor to the harbour administration
Gallanti confirmation that will ahead go the contest for the cession of 66% of the capital of the Port of Livorno 2000
October 10, 2016
As national the political scene is characterized recently by the repeated duels more or less ignited between the Party Democratic and the Movement 5 Stars so it is also the livornese stage, where this contrast divides the summits of two primary city institutions: the Municipality, with the mayor cinquestelle Filippo Nogarin, and the Harbour Authority, with the extraordinary commissioner of area pidiessina Giuliano Gallanti.
The crash between the municipal administration and that harbour one is extended from almost two years and Europe Dock has been centralized mainly on the realization of the harbour platform, with the mayor not whom convinced of the sustainability of the project, and it is time rinfocolato after the deliberation of the slid days of the National Authority Anticorruzione that prohibits the general secretary of the Harbour Authority of Livorno, Massimo Provinciali, to temporary maintain the charge of president of the Port of Livorno 2000, the fleeting society that manages the traffic of the port of Livorno ( on 5 October 2016).
In a letter opened to the president of the Tuscany Region, Enrico Rossi, in which he evidences that "the city of Livorno is living an occupational crisis unprecedented and the solutions that are put in field in order to check this disaster they are late to realize itself", in recent days the mayor has evidenced that "not even the news that arrives from "front of the port" is reassuring: the contest for the basins - Nogarin has explained - is firm for a year, that for the privatization of Porto 2000 is vitiated by a heavy conflict of interest, certifyd from the ANAC, and it pronounces it of the State Audit Court of the EU - it has found the mayor referring to the recent relief of the European institution on the financings to the ports ( on September 23, 2016, ndr) - it leaves little hopes also on the destiny of the Europe Dock, whose it yields however we will see them between years".
"I do not accept - it has replied today the extraordinary commissioner of the livornese harbour agency - the instrumental accusations that in these days someone is making the Harbour Authority, speaking about an immovable port. On the base of the statistical data that consolidate by now from almost two years bollinati from Assoporti - it has emphasized Giuliano Gallanti - we are indeed in this period one of the more efficient harbour ports of call of the Mediterranean".
In the course of the press conference today's the general secretary of the agency has made reference in particular the event of the Port of Livorno 2000: "there is - Massimo Provinciali has asserted provocatively - another case of incompatibility that unfortunately the ANAC does not have competence to resolve, that is that unilateral between mayor Filippo Nogarin and Harbour Authority, because unless with the first citizen - it has observed - we are collaborating, they said profitably also, with many city council members of its committee and on various fronts, to begin from the distance of rivisitazione of the structural plan on the within port-city, or as the idea of requalification of You was, as us the city council member Alessandro Aurigi in an interview published own on the profile Facebook di Nogarin recognizes moreover, beside the post in which the mayor she paints me as novello a Vallanzasca".
"the ANAC - it has continued Provincial - has found a simple administrative irregularity, applying in literal way the law on the transparency and without to take into consideration the concrete situation of Porto 2000. Not some importance of other type is some endorsement neither that the necessity for me not to opt for one of the two charges covered. Obviously - the general secretary of the Harbour Authority has confirmed - I will adapt myself putting again the managerial delegations in Porto 2000, and between the possible and compatible hypotheses with the norm there is that to redistribute them between the others two members of the board of directors. But honestly - it has continued Provincial - the behavior of the mayor is incomprehensible. I would not want was a small revenge because a year it makes decided not to give I keep on a its sollicitation: against a my stiff hand in order to resume an institutional and collaborative relation between Harbour and Common Authority, in sms on August 7, 2015 the promotion for ours employee asked me and substantially to contract out to the Municipality the rivisitazione of the study of the OCS (relative to the first phase of the Europe Platform, of the 13 and 15 May 2016, ndr). What that I have obviously not made".
"My conflict of interest - it has evidenced Provincial - has not cost nothing, having had assumed the assignment of president of Porto 2000 free of charge and having worked, with some result, for I throw again of the crocieristici traffics, while, as the mayor knows itself - the general secretary of the harbour authority has denounced - is also president of the Foundation LEM, to which the Municipality 150 thousand euros still must. Practically, Filippo Nogarin president of the LEM would have to bring charges to Nogarin Filippo mayor of Livorno".
While Gallanti has assured that the contest for the cession of 66% of the capital of the Port of Livorno 2000 will go ahead: "tomorrow to the 12 - it has remembered - the terms for the delivery of the offers will expire. After that we will put to them in safe, just the time to receive the Ministry a precautionary one to seem in order to that we can and we cannot make in this temporary period in the blackberries of the takeover of the new governance". On 15 September in fact it has taken effect I decree of reorganization, rationalization and simplification of the concerning discipline the Harbour Authorities, based on which the Harbour Authority of Livorno will be transformed in Authority of Harbour System of the Tyrrhenian Sea Northern and its jurisdiction will be extended to the ports of Capraia, Cable, Piombino, Portoferraio and Rio Marina.
