The new president of the association of shipping agents of Genoa highlighted the need to proceed with the construction of major infrastructures affecting the Liguria, the continuation of which could also be put in doubt, but not only from this, from the corruption investigation that led to arrests, including that of the president of the regional body, Giovanni Toti, placed under house arrest. "The priority - explained Gianluca Croce - are the large infrastructures and no one can afford the luxury or claim the right to block them or postpone them over time, because in that case they will will have to answer to the whole community and especially to those young people who will see their expectations of work, employment and social growth in the city in which they were born as well as from the only sector that has effective and recognized potential for growth and development. It's not certainly our competence and even less our will - - to formulate judgments on investigations or institutions, but it is our priority interest to affirm that the machine cannot be and it must not stop. We refer in particular to three works with respect to the feasibility of which we had obtained and today we demand to obtain precise guarantees on the timing and on the entry into service. The dam - he specified referring to to the construction of the new dam of the port of the Ligurian capital - according to all international experts, it is the only tool capable of making the port of Genoa that upgrading that today more than ever is essential in a Mediterranean where routes and trade are being redesigned. We therefore confirm our confidence in Mayor Bucci who has the commissioner responsibility on the dam and that we hope can repeating the Genoa miracle accomplished with the reconstruction of the bridge Morandi".

"The second strategic work," Croce added, "is certainly the Third Pass and we ask the institutions to open from immediately a coordination table that allows to accelerate abruptly the timing of the quadrupling of the lines from Tortona to Milan to make the connection between the port of Genoa, the Lombard capital and Turin. Finally, the motorway gutter. Anyone transiting through the Genoa West toll booth knows perfectly well how much the system Ligurian motorway connection with the industrial hinterland Piedmontese and Lombard journeys dangerously on the razor's edge of a blackout... In recent days they have returned to circulate rumours about the need to find funds and financing that today they would not be available. The government has demonstrated with the concentration of investments of the PNRR precisely on Liguria and the port of Genoa to have fully understood the strategic nature of the of these interventions; Now we can't get lost on the way. The the theme of the connections between the port and the areas beyond the Apennines is of truly strategic importance also for the industrial system and production in southern Europe".
