Deputy Premier and Labour and
Industry Minister Luigi Di Maio on Friday denied reports that
the government was reconsidering its decision to revoke the
concession of highways company Autostrade per l'Italia after
this week's bridge-collapse disaster in Genoa.
"I say this loud and clear - the political will is there. We
want to revoke the concession of Autostrade per l'Italia," said
Di Maio, the leader of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement
(M5S).
"You cannot keep pretending that nothing has happened.
"These people continue to have the toll paid without doing
ordinary and extraordinary maintenance and it's time to say no
more.
"They wrote that the government is holding back. That's
false.
"The government is accelerating and it will revoke the
concessions".
