Replying to some statements of the vice president of the Council of Ministers and coordinator of Forza Italia, Antonio Tajani, who yesterday, on the sidelines of the meeting of Communion and Liberation in Rimini, has envisaged among other things the possible privatization of municipal companies and ports, the Filt Cgil has denounced that "selling off the ports to make cash is puzzling." The trade union organization pointed out that the ports "are a strategic asset for our country under so many points of view and that is why they must remain in public hand'.

"The very idea of wanting to privatize the ports - has underlined the CGIL Transport Federation - is of for itself very serious and we want to hope that the Deputy Prime Minister Tajani has taken a stroke of the sun and that is denied by the others majority political forces. Otherwise this government will find a harsh and firm response from the workers workers of the entire port cluster".
