See Sicily – the project to relaunch tourism in Sicily after the crisis due to Covid and the subsequent increases – has caused a hole of over 10 million euros: this is what emerged from the papers sent to the European Commission by the Region’s Audit Authority.
This is yet another case that “shakes” the Sicilian economy and politics, after a couple of difficult weeks for the regional leaders and in a delicate moment such as that of preparation for the European elections. Among the first to react to the news on “See Sicily”, made known in the last few hours, are the deputies of the 5 Star Movementwho ask for an urgent session of the Ars to clarify.
“See Sicily”, the certified 10 million hole
“Now on the ‘See Sicily’ case the hole of over 10 million is certified, black and white, in the documents sent to the European Commission by the Region’s Audit Authority, there are no longer any doubts. On the matter, which we also denounced at the press conference and for which we made a complaint to the Court of Auditors, we were absolutely right. Now enough obstructionism, Galvagno convene the classroom session dedicated to the topic that we have been asking him for over a year without receiving an answer. And do it quickly, given that the spaces are there and they are also abundant, given that the ARS calendar has been practically emptied by the upcoming European elections”. These are the words of the M5S group leader at Ars Antonio De Luca.

“We need a comparison”
“It is essential – says De Luca speaking of the See Sicily project for local tourism – a comparison that it is not only in the newspapers, but in front of the entire regional delegation and the citizens, who must be able to listen to councilor Amata and Schifani, of whom we have many things to ask. It is a battle that goes beyond the specific case, but which involves the correct use of European and national funds which must all be spent well, something that the Musumeci government has often failed to do. Brothers of Italy have amply demonstrated that they only know how to cause disasters, Schifani should take note of this and take the tourism toy out of their hands”.
The president of the party of the EU Ars commission also intervenes on the “hole” caused by See Sicily, Luigi Sunseri. “We will follow the European Commission’s final decision on the case very carefully – he states – For my part, I guarantee that the commission I chair will ensure that future expenditure of European funds is made in a correct and prudent manner in the interests of Sicilians and local businesses. island and not as in this case, ending up causing possible damage to the budget of our Region. Now, in fact, we need to understand what the impact will be of the operation on our accounts and where the funds will be found to cover the commitments undertaken which cannot be met with European resources”.
