Immediately release the funds already allocated and find new resources to stop the truck protests. It is on this double track that the discussion between the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Matteo Salvini and the road transport associations opens today in the prefecture of Milan.
On the table are the 430 million against expensive diesel already allocated over the course of these months for the fuel crisis, another additional 80-100 million requested by the sector and the 590 million for the renewal of the vehicle fleet. To these is added the Marebonus chapter.
"We are working as hard as we can to give concrete answers today, so the 430 million that are already in the budget, are already in the wallet and have already been allocated - the deputy prime minister told Rtl 102.5 - to overcome a thousand bureaucratic obstacles we have made it a point for them to start being disbursed as early as this week, because many companies cannot wait".
The objective is to find a solution to the dispute which is hindering the distribution of goods with the first empty shelves especially in the South. On the eve of the table, Salvini reported direct contacts with hauliers and local associations in Sicily, Campania and Puglia. A reality which, he explained to Rtl 102.5, "have removed the motorway blocks on the A1 on some arteries to allow shops, pharmacies and supermarkets to be supplied". An opening that the minister defined as a "gesture of availability".
