"When I I listen to the speeches of the Brothers of Italy and the leader of FdI to invest in ports, to invest in iron care I fear that he has not read the National Resistance and Resilience Plan“. This is the statement of the Minister for the South and Territorial Cohesion Mara Carfagna, during a meeting in Foggia.”
Because what he is talking about is exactly in the National Plan of Resistance and Resilience that they, by renegotiating it, risk blocking, blocking works already started and construction sites already open. We have invested, for example, in the modernization of the ports of the South one billion and 200 million euros. We have invested a lot in the high-speed railway, in the high-speed Salerno-Reggio Calabria.
We have allocated all the available and necessary funds for completion. One billion and 800 thousand euros in the PNRR because that money must be spent by 2026. But there are nine billion and 400 million in the complementary fund to the PNRR that will guarantee the completion of the Salerno-Reggio Calabria High Speed Line by 2030.
We have then allocated one billion and 800 million euros for the Naples-Bari High Speed Line, and we have allocated funds for 450 million for the Taranto-Potenza-Metaponto-Battipaglia diagonal connection and for other diagonal connections. In short, we have planned investments to make the South the true logistics platform of Italy and Europe in the Mediterranean. Others talk at conferences about transforming the South into the logistics platform of Italy in the Mediterranean, in 18 months we have planned resources, investments, opened construction sites to truly realize this vision of the South".
