(ANSA) – RAVENNA, 03 MAY – “Priceless sums paid to businesses, zero-point compensation, in the face of an unacceptable narrative made up of announcements of 100% refunds, while the reality is made up of bureaucracy, slowness and funds never arriving. There are many things that don’t add up in the process of rebuilding the economic fabric that should have followed the flood of May 2023.” One year after the first flood events, a prologue to those which flooded Romagna on 16 and 17 May causing victims and damage, Legacoop brought together businesses and institutions in an initiative called “Let’s hurry because it’s late”.
The location of the initiative is the Copura warehouses, one of the 22 companies associated with Legacoop Romagna that were invaded by water and have now restarted thanks mainly to the efforts of their members and the cooperative system. “The data made public in the press in April by the commissioner structure – claimed the president of Legacoop Romagna Paolo Lucchi – tell us that until a few days ago the applications completed on the Sfinge platform were 775, of which just 63 had passed the Invitalia check. There were around forty practices ready for liquidation, for a value of 1.5 million euros, but there were 29 practices that had received a first part of the contribution, for a total of 400 thousand euros. Can anyone explain these figures to us, given that There were almost 90 thousand people damaged by the flood, of which 16 thousand businesses, and the estimated damage in Emilia-Romagna is 8.5 billion, of which 3.5 to private individuals. We have been promised 100% compensation, but that’s always the case It’s more difficult to declare oneself optimistic.” (HANDLE). .
