The caucus leader of the
centre-right Area Popolare (AP) party, Maurizio Lupi, on Tuesday
said he would ask House whips on Thursday to table a debate on
AP's bill on the Messina Bridge project within the next three
months. He voiced satisfaction at the fact that Premier Matteo
Renzi "has said Yes to our proposal to revive" the project. "A
bill is needed saying that the Bridge will be built," he said.
AP, which mainly consists of the New Centre Right (NCD), is a
junior partner in Renzi's centre-left-centre-right government.
The Messina Bridge was first proposed by former premier Silvio
Berlusconi.
