Interviewed by Corriere Fiorentinothe centre-right candidate in the elections for the mayor of Florence, Eike Schmidtcriticized the outgoing administration for its handling of the stadium affair.
“Two areas for a new stadium”
“It’s a big deal Nardella he left to his successors – he said – Since the entire project is not financed, we need to think of a new stage. Better if it’s there that does it Florentine, otherwise a project financing. I heard from the Minister of Defense Crosetto: I told him about theformer Ferrucci Barracks of Santo Spirito and assured me that he will check whether there are elements to review the procedure (for the contested RSA, ed.), on the new stage he said he was willing to evaluate the hypothesis of Perotti barracks”.
“And for the Franchi…”
What future then for the Franks? “My idea is to build spaces for cultural production and incubators for startups,” she continued Schmidt – With manufacturers you can review contracts and eliminate or reduce penalties to a minimum. My positive opinion in the commission for the project? It was an aesthetic judgment that I confirm today. But on a political level it’s a completely different question: do we want the minimum wage by bringing a 1930s stadium up to standard or do we want a modern facility, with sky boxes and all the comforts?”.
