Meloni’s government operates in rough seas. Forza Italia – in an attempt to re-accredit itself after an August blunder regarding additional bank profits – is attacking the ports: “They should be privatized,” Antonio Tajani said a few days ago, backed by new Fi spokesman Rafaele Nevi. And with all the sadness behind. FDI and Lega don’t even want to hear about it. Georgia Meloni makes this clear: “Privatization of ports is not included in the government’s program”sentences by rejecting the FI initiative. The League repeats this with Deputy Transport Minister Edoardo Rixi: “It’s not on the agenda and I don’t think it’s a campaign issue.” “I say this for the internal debate of the majority: we do not intend to sell Italian ports, but to open the management of companies to the entry of private capital, as is already happening in many European and non-European countries. There is a clear realization that budget deviations are no longer possible, so we need to finance ourselves,” explained yesterday the Genoese MP Roberto Bagnasco, who closely follows the developments in the Ligurian ports.
Raffaella Paitacoordinator of Italia Viva, quipped: “If Forza Italia is so attached to liberal principles why don’t you continue the serious fight within the government to liberalize taxis and beach concessions? Yes, these sectors are dominated by corporatism, in which Italy has always failed to meet the requirements of Europe. And they simply do not work and do not provide citizens with proper services, ”the attack of the senator from Yves. Now that the season is drawing to a close, the curtain on the long history of concessions is coming down on seaside resorts.
State Council In fact, he confirmed the refusal of the Meloni government to extend the concessions for the beach until December 31, 2024, which, therefore, will have to be auctioned on December 31, 2023. Thus, the extension will have to be carried out through a public tender. , as required by the Bolkestein directive, which prohibits the automatic renewal of beach concessions. The decision was predictable, including in light of the recent verdict European Court which is closed to any expansion of concessions. Operators in this sector hope that companies, often family-owned companies that have invested thousands of euros in their beach holidays in recent years, will be protected when tendering. Therefore, it will be important for the legislator to carefully define the rules of interaction that take into account, in addition to competition, the protection of the values of the features of the tourism model proposed so far by the sector. But with this in mind, whether they are liberals or not, now all the allies of the majority will have to row together, in the indicated direction. We must comply.
The government is watching the match with the Minister of Tourism Daniela Santanche, a longtime minority shareholder of Twiga, before selling the shares. And it was the minister, who is connected in the FdI with the Milan wing of La Russa, who urgently wanted to carry out the communication campaign “Open for Meraviglia”, traces of which have been lost since June. There was a twist yesterday: Botticelli’s controversial Venus – or what’s left of her after the influencer’s styling – that cost taxpayers an estimated €9 million over the entire international campaign, has spoken again. On June 27, he prematurely disappeared from advertising spaces at airports. And voila: after some newspapers hinted at the existence of an investigation by the Accounts Chamber, Venera returned to social networks. With a double message in Italian and English aimed more at political divisions than at attracting tourists to Italy, Open to Meraviglia made it clear that all was well. “Hello! I understand perfectly well that you missed me,” he jokes on social networks, “and I am pleased to know that you are so worried about me. It’s true: I promised to bring the beauties of our Italy around the world and I did. “Airport after airport, city after city. Because when you really love something, you want to share it with the world. Our nation deserves to shine more and more and I’m here to make sure that happens.” he explains, ending his message with a small red heart.The Democratic Party launches its attack with House Deputy Group Leader Tony Riccardi and Senator Valter Verini: Venus”. Summer is over, new thunderstorms are on the horizon of the Meloni government. But the problems of tourism are more political than legal.
