Centre-left Democratic Party (PD)
leader Maurizio Martina said outside the ILVA steel plant gates
in Taranto Wednesday that "the city, families and workers
deserved serious answers and not propaganda".
"We have guaranteed the continuity of production in these
years safeguarding jobs, albeit in a very delicate situation.
"The government should stop wasting time.
"Protection of the environment, health and jobs demand
precise responsibilities and choices.
"We join the initiative of the trade unions and the firm
because now there is no longer any time for delays".
The government has challenged ArcelorMittal's plan to clean
up and save jobs at the polluting plant, which is the largest in
Europe.
It says the consortium must save more jobs.
