09 July 2020 The managing directors of Atlantia and Autostrade per l'Italia (Aspi) , Carlo Bertazzo and Roberto Tomasi, have arrived at the ministry of transport, summoned by the government on concessions. For the executive are the heads of cabinet of the MIT and the MEF , Alberto Stancanelli and Luigi Carbone and the secretary general of the Prime Minister, Roberto Cheppa. In the morning, an ordinary board of Atlantia, already fixed for some time, was already on the agenda, which could be an opportunity to analyze the situation following the decision of the Constitutional Court which deemed the exclusion of the subsidiary Aspi from the reconstruction of the bridge on the bridge not illegitimate Polcevera.

Atlantia: sharp drop on the stock exchange
Atlantia stock always down sharply in the middle of the day, even if not on the lows reached in the morning (12.97 euros) when it ended twice in the volatility auction: the company's shares now show a drop of 5.53% to 13, 50 euros. To weigh, yesterday's ruling by the Constitutional Court which deemed the Parliament's decision not to entrust Aspi with the reconstruction of the Morandi Bridge in Genoa and the statement by the Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, according to which on the Autostrade dossier within this week a decision will be reached and then invited Aspi to formulate a new proposal, under penalty of revocation.

Buffagni: "Via Benetton, duty for victims and Italians"
"Via the concession to the Benettons. The Constitutional Court confirmed yesterday that ousting the Benettons from the reconstruction of the Genoa bridge was legitimate and constitutional. But this is not enough". Deputy Minister for Economic Development Stefano Buffagni says it in a video posted on Facebook. "Genoa is an open wound for the whole country. For the innocent victims that damned collapse caused and for the implications for the safety of all Italians. Because anyone could be on that bridge, and we all pass on bridges and viaducts daily ". "The 'modus operandi' of falsifying reports, increasing dividends (obtained by raising tariffs at toll booths) and cutting the maintenance highlighted by the investigations, requires us to take away from these people the management of our highways". We owe it to parents who saw their children die in the rubble of the Morandi Bridge. We owe it to all Italians who have the right to be calm when they travel. "

Tensions in the majority and M5s-Lega clash
New tensions in the majority, after confirming that Autostrade per l'Italia will manage the new one, pro tempore bridge over the Polcevera. The 5-star political leader, Vito Crimi , said: "We will not go back a millimeter. The Genoa Bridge must not be handed over to the Benettons. " Danilo Toninelli attacks Salvini:" Today I wonder how we could ally ourselves with a shabby and vulgar character like Salvini. The more Salvini attacked me on the infrastructure, the clearer he was defending potentates like the Benettons. " After meeting with the Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez,

Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte from Madrid tries to mediate and reassure the government team:" The dossier will be closed this weekend. As long as the concessionaire is Autostrade it is clear that the bridge can only be automatically in the Autostrade concession. " Matteo Renzi

further inflamed the controversy within the majority , who said in La Stampa:" After two years he can keep on screaming 'we will revoke' or 'we will hunt the Benettons'. Because it is very simple, but impossible to do: enough with the populism of the ads. Everyone knew that the management would go to Autostrade: it was already foreseen at the beginning of the route. " The opposition is on the attack. The governor of Liguria, Giovanni Toti , speaks of" two years of lies ", lost time and missed investments Matteo Salvini, today manifested under Palazzo Chigi: "It is a shabby and shameful ballet on the skin of the Genoese and also on the dead of the Morandi bridge. That the government decides something because Liguria is hostage, is being kidnapped every day and is unacceptable. "Salvini" says the fake ", urged the deputy minister of infrastructure and transport, Giancarlo Cancelleri ," it is true that two years have passed, but one year we have been in government with them. It is the League that has braked, did not want to make a decision, they did not appear at the discussion tables on Autostrade. Now the government must intervene immediately by writing the word end to this story. We can not wait anymore".
