Adnkronos Rome, 11 Nov. (Adnkronos) – On the flood in Emilia Romagna "the government, I proudly claim, has not looked the other way, has not abandoned this territory. It has allocated a total of over 6,5 billion euros. We will leave the controversies to others. We have kept the commitments made, no distraction...". Thus Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, speaking via video link at the demonstration promoted in Bologna by the center-right in support of the candidate for governor of Emilia Romagna Elena Ugolini.
"Someone said that not even a single euro of compensation has arrived. It is simply false - he continued after thanking Minister Nello Musumeci and Commissioner Francesco Paolo Figliuolo -. The commissioner structure led by Commissioner Figliuolo has already provided significant resources and compensation to families and businesses affected by the 2024 flood, while if we wanted to make a comparison, the Emilia Romagna region approved the council resolution to conclude the reimbursements for the 2019 floods in July 2024. They are done. The money to secure the territory is there and must be spent. And it must be spent quickly. We will continue to do our part. We will continue to give our full contribution because the fate of this or that party is not at stake here. The fate of the citizens is at stake here and party squabbles do not interest us. If someone wants to continue to use the flood and the difficult situation in which so many citizens of this land find themselves to hope to gain a political advantage, they will not do so. with our contribution".
