"I think that the Olympic and Paralympic challenges should be launched at the right time, having clarified the roles and also the resources that must be made available. For 2036 the choice will be made in 2029 and in a few weeks a dossier must necessarily be closed. I think that before talking about it it is appropriate to meet and see how we can build a winning candidacy". This was said by the Minister for Sport and Youth, Andrea Abodi, speaking on the sidelines of the second and final day of 'Le Sfide', an event organized at the Acen headquarters in Naples by Spin Factor.

After that, the Olympic and Paralympic dossiers are also dossiers for the transformation of cities, so they are things that are done together with CONI, the national government and the government of the territories. When will it be right to talk about it? It's always a good time - explains the minister -.
We must put the issue on the agenda, it is a serious issue to which reliable answers must certainly be given."
