“A port of refuge is not yet available to the Authority”, towards the signing of the protocol

It freezes. “The Port Authority of Western Sicily does not yet own the port of refuge”. President Pasqualino Monti, interviewed in the evening in a detailed analysis “Agorà” conducted by Franco Gallo, noted that the cycle must be closed for the change of defense and the Region. The protocol, necessary for this final step, could be signed “next week, hopefully between Tuesday and Wednesday,” he said. The papers have already been sent to the municipal administration. For Monti and Mayor Lucio Greco there are no restrictions on the final registration. “Let’s say that we are at the signature – continued Monti himself – we have sent the protocol to the regional government that will discuss, maybe on Monday, and then proceed with the signature”. The work at the port of refuge, which has been covered up for years, is an endless bureaucratic process that has continued for some time. Monti himself was convinced that he could have full access to the infrastructure as early as last December. “Unfortunately, another five months have passed but I don’t want to blame – he continued – we found ourselves in the middle of regional elections and a change of government, as well as inevitable changes in the department also in the bureaucratic and technical part.”. Only when it has a free hand to work, the Authority will be able to implement a timetable for the intervention that for dredging provides a loan of more than five million euros from Eni. It was impossible to expect an intervention, “although there were two attempts made by the governor”, he continued. The law on the subject provides mandatory measures. Among the things that have been emphasized by the president of the Authority, a person cannot fail to strike because of the economic effects that he has had for a while. It will be necessary to integrate the sand behavior of the harbor of refuge, which is part of the internal Sin. The data will then be sent to the investigation of the case.
