Italian businesses' patience
over the government's postponement of the TAV high-speed rail
line between Turin and Lyon is "almost at an end", Confindustria
employers' group chief Vincenzo Boccia said Monday.
The 5-Star/League government has put the project on ice while
a cost/benefit analysis is carried out at the request of the
5-Stars, who are against the project.
The League, on the other hand, is in favour of it going
ahead.
Speaking at a rally of 3,000 businessmen to call for new
infrastructure starting with the TAV, Boccia said "if we're here
it's because our patience is almost at the limit.
"If we are here, artisans, merchants, cooperatives,
industrialists, someone should ask themselves why.
"We are making economic policy proposals to avert damage to
the country".
The 'No-TAV' movement against the project said the employers
were "only afraid of losing a rich contract of public money" and
did not have the general interest at heart.
