January 7, 2020
Today to Rome, near the Ministry of Infrastructures and the Transports, an encounter with the representatives of the haulers will hold on the topic of the adaptation of the marine hires and the support to the transport of the goods from and for the islands. In sight of the encounter, than one will hold to hours 14,30, Maurizio Longo, the general secretary of Trasportounito, the trade-union representation that has indetto in order today the start of an action of protest against the decrease of the marine hires whom the block in the boarding of heavy means previews on the ships engaged in the marine services of the Freeways of the Sea in the ports of Palermo, Termini Imerese, Catania, Cagliari, Olbia and Messina, has emphasized that by now "the time has expired and this - has explained because of the total absence of urgent provisions, finalized to attenuate the marine transport costs, let alone of an any ability to plan actions in a position to supporting economic policies in returned territories degraded; that is it has not been comprised and the gravity of the situation is not comprised - it has specified Longo -, and this will be profitable discounted the compattamento of the economic categories, and the families, on the reasons of the protests".
"Nobody - it has added the general secretary of Trasportounito - is deceived to find of forehead usuals four deprived of hope to calm with a worse bread piece or with immaginose promises. Sicily and Sardinia are the tip of an uneasiness iceberg desperation and anger. The total inability of the government and politics to comprise that the increase of costs and the infrastructural barriers destroys territories as those of the two greater islands, added to the indifference with which the important repercussions generated from international norms are faced and communitarian, they generate the premises in order to prime social conflicts that, we wish, they do not exit control outside".
For the road haulage - it has concluded Maurizio Longo - the case Sicily and Sardinia represents a dangerous spark in the powder keg of a Country that servants of the road haulage for 80% of the transport of its goods, but that continues in more and more obtuse way to consider the majority of the haulers as a kind of neglected to squeeze until making to fail them forcing them to operate in conditions of exploitation and to the limits of the legality and street safety".
