transport
Milan , July 24, 2015 – 14:57
Via the commissioner Improta, new board, also via the leaders that have gone wrong and private capital in Atac here is the “cure Marino” for the chaos and disruption recorded by early July on public transportation in Rome and in particular on the metro line. And ‘what was announced by the mayor at a press conference after the meeting between the President of the Lazio Region Nicola Zingaretti on the issues and waste transport. Dura replication Guido Improta “Marino was right.” Even the center-right has attacked Marino (“unseemly behavior, ten days ago said that Atac is healed”) but also in most open cracks: “No to the privatization of Atac, is a dangerous proposition,” said Gianluca Peciola, Sel, party released by the junta but which still provides external support to Marino.
” General Resignation “
” I would ask ‘Councillor Improta to formalize the resignation he had previously announced, it is necessary to immediately change course and make the admission that there is insufficient work done, “the mayor said at a press conference. “I have also decided to change the board of Atac and authorized the Director General Micheli an extensive overhaul of the company management, the executives in charge of removing inefficiencies,” said the mayor Ignazio Marino. First of all, though, Marino had turned to citizens and tourists. “I apologize for the inconvenience unacceptable that occurred in our local transport.”
Open doors to private shareholders
“Along with Zingaretti we decided that from today the City, Region and ATAC will commit to seek an industrial partner keeping the majority public company – said Marino -. We have instructed the company to write a business plan real strong calling for competition, so we anticipate the launch of a national process that requires not manage more ‘service house from 2019 “. Then planned a new recapitalization to address the financial problems of ATAC, of almost 200 million Euros in assets and cash of which “has agreed to take the town of Rome bedding with the approval of the budget.”
“The alternative was bankruptcy”
From the Regione Lazio then came the commitment to transfer by 30 September 2015 of EUR 301 million to the City as” payment of old contributions that the right in recent years had denied. ” “When we arrived two years ago we found Atac an untenable situation, virtually bankrupt, – said the mayor – and we have decided to launch an efficiency plan that produced results but it did not help to improve the quality of life of the Romans , so I think it should be an immediate change of course and an admission of failure of the work done so far. ” A “revolution” defines Marino that implies for the company is also responsible for writing a business plan “true and strong to hold the race”: the only alternative was to “close Atac, bring the books in court, endangering workers and service. “
Appeals for calm
” I appeal to the citizens, who have every reason to protest, today we set a sea change that will not be ‘still so’ immediate, to ask them not to do this but patience epochal effort together, “Marino said, referring to the many episodes of aggression and anger exploded in the meter from passengers exasperated by the constant disruptions. Atac workers and trade unions asked instead “full cooperation” and “stop thinking and concerns of the past ‘: the objective is to” save the business by improving service and safeguarding jobs, “he recalled. Within 10 days, the time schedule of this couple Marino-Zingaretti, will be informed of the details of the operation.
The replica Improta
” Since June 22, I expressed unequivocally and on several occasions their intention to resign and, as noted, only the intervention President of the Democratic Party and the mayor Orfini Marino, I agreed to freeze the situation “Improta wrote in a statement released after the press conference by Marino. “Just today I attended the council as the agenda figured the budget adjustment. The mayor then had a chance to finish in a fair and respectful in communicating to our partnership council, or the edge of it, he had reached the decision to take my place in line with the situation that I had long been proposed to him. He preferred instead to leave the meeting before its conclusion and ask in the press for the resignation, which I have already given. Sorry also to state is attempting improperly to credit the message that the inconvenience that is suffering from the cities are responsible councilor and the Board of Atac. “
The controversy
“Only ten days ago, on the approval of the guidelines of the new service contract of ‘Atac, the press office of Marino flooded the newspaper offices with triumphant proclamations on un’Atac efficient and healed and finally be able to offer a decent service to the city. The company, however, is on the verge of bankruptcy. And Marino now hopes to get by jettisoning the Board and the commissioner Improta – because that is his style, his manner, his very Italian pragmatism: it is always someone else’s fault, “said Andrea Augello, Senator Area popular Ncd-UDC. “The mayor apparently awoke from a slumber institutional, which lasts two years,” commented Adriano Palozzi, FI regional councilor and vice president of the Transport Committee, from left Sel while preparing for battle at the Capitol against the opening to private.
