‘The infrastructure is needed: it is up to the Government and the Region to definitively resolve the issue of choosing between the motorway and the expressway’
For years Lapressa.it has offered free and independent information to its readers without any type of public contribution. Private advertising covers part of the costs, but it is not sufficient. For this reason we ask those who read us and follow us every day to give us, if they wish, a contribution based on their possibilities. Even a small support, multiplied by the tens of thousands of people from Modena and Emilia-Romagna who read us every day, is fundamental.
The center-left candidate, Carlo Bassoli, will not be present at tonight’s meeting at the Mirandola Council Chamber on the topic of Cispadana. A meeting promoted by the Cispadano Coordination ‘No motorway – Yes freeway’. Instead, the other three candidates will speak, Letizia Budri (centre-right), Giorgio Siena (+Mirandola) and Giorgio Cavazza (5 Star Movement).
‘As I feared and as I had announced, I will not be able to participate in the meeting you organized on May 23rd on the topic of Cispadana. In these days, the board of the Swedish multinational for which I work will be in Italy and, as manager of the Italian plant, I will have to dedicate all my time and attention to the appointment – Bassoli writes to the organizers -. However, I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate our position, already illustrated during discussions on the topic with the Cispadano No Autostrada Coordination.
We believe that the biomedical district and the local production system should be able to count on an efficient connection with the Rolo-Reggiolo toll booth of the Brenner motorway. It is up to the Government and the Region to definitively resolve the issue of choosing between motorway and expressway, ensuring maximum attention to reducing environmental impact. However, the road infrastructure is not an alternative to the search for an intermodal solution in favor of rail transport as already reiterated in our previous meetings, to guarantee further possibilities for sustainable development for our entire economic system, and we will work on this with great conviction and determination . This line of our program on the intermodal hub is also a necessary action to combat pollution, in line with the decarbonisation path and in direct support of the competitiveness of our manufacturing district.
