- At 22 years after the first descent to the streets on Monday to return to show business in Genoa, this time to invoke the opening of the sites of third passage
- Calvin (Confindustria Genova): "we're frustrated." To support the initiative, in addition to the productive sectors, there are also trade unions
We've tried it all: this is the last option. So the president of Confindustria Genova, John Calvin, explains why entrepreneurs are meeting next Monday at 10.15 in Piazza de Ferrari, at the center of Genoa, and headed towards the Prefecture and then hand over to the Prefect Francesco Musolino a document addressed urging the government to start work for the realization of the third passage of Jupiters, work - stress the industry - which is an essential component of the project 24 of the European network TEN-T as well as vital for the maintenance and development of the Italian economy.
- A protest, then, that aims to unlock the current stalemate.The government has repeatedly reiterated that the opening of the sites is prevented only by the composition of the ongoing dispute between the Italian Railway Network (RFI) and the general contractor COCIV (
of 21 June 2011). Resolved this controversy - according to the executive - the work starts. According to others, including Senator Henry Musso who presented on a question to Minister of Infrastructure and Transport ( of 27 June 2011) - the scenario is more complex.
- Confindustria Genova's work can be started only if the government is committed to ensuring the execution of the second batch of construction project, which involves finding the economic resources to 1.1 billion euros. Basically, in short, the same commitment that he would ask for COCIV decided to start construction.
- Anyway - supports the association of industrialists Genoese - the government must give the course work."We feel very cheated by this situation," he said this morning Calvini presenting the initiative to protest planned for Monday. "We are frustrated," he added. "A few days ago - he explained - in the bargain we said that we tried everything. All that remains is down the street. "
- "It is a singular form of protest," he confirmed Carlo Castellano, president and chairman and promoter of Esaote Dixet, the district Genovese electronics and advanced technologies, and supporter of the event on Monday. Unique, certainly, but not unprecedented. Indeed, there is a link between the drop-down next to the streets of entrepreneurs and the first protest of this kind carried out by companies in Genoa. In March 1989, when shipping agents, ship owners, traders and professionals of Genoa on Via XX Settembre went down to protest against the blockade of the port caused by strikes against the decisions of the Minister camallo Prandini, his father was in the parade John Calvin, Adrian, then president of the port users.
- Monday I will not go on the road against someone or something. "Do not say no to anyone," said junior Calvini.We only ask that you give to a work boot - said - that it is very important if you see only from the point of view of employment generated by the construction phase. But at stake, as well as jobs of the yards (5,000) essential in this time of crisis, there is much more even for the sole capital of Liguria, "the third passage - has confirmed Castellano - you are playing a decisive game for Genoa. " If you become completely cut off by the high speed train - he stressed - Genoa will be completely isolated.
- Genoa, in essence, runs the risk of losing anything but a train metaphorically: the event on Monday - he said Castellano - "is outside the normal context because we are in an exceptional time."
- The event gave their accession, the main categories of companies, traders, merchants and craftsmen - Elk, Ascom-Confcommercio Assagenti, CNA, Confartigianato, Confesercenti Dixet, Youth Group Reunion, Spediporto - and confirmed their support of the representatives of lawyers and accountants.
- A support action decided by the Confindustria Genova also comes from the workers' representatives: Genoa Fillea CGIL, CISL and Filca Feneal UIL Genoa have expressed satisfaction with it, "as well as business people and representatives of local productive categories of public initiatives are taking the lead as and scheduled for next Monday in Genoa to support the implementation of the third passage. " "It is important fact - observed the workers' representatives - who, as long urged by the trade union organizations, it will finally start this great work. In this regard it is necessary to end the dispute between the railways and the concessionaire that has lasted far too long and the Genoese economy by penalizing the country. " "It is also important - Genoa found Fillea CGIL, CISL and Filca Feneal UIL Genoa - see the start of work involved companies and the local workforce where in two years we have lost over two thousand units. We must avoid what is happening, for example a result of work of the railway junction where the Genoese, in the yards, there is a marginal presence of businesses and local workers, making it necessary actions to promote employment in the territory. ""It is necessary finally - the unions have concluded - that the region of Liguria follow the example of the Piedmont Region, which has under consideration a regional law to encourage the construction of major works with the help of local companies with direct effects on the relaunch of fabric of the local economy. "
