Lombardy Governor Roberto
Maroni said Tuesday that Premier Paolo Gentiloni was "very
angry" with Spain after Amsterdam was awarded the European
Medicines Agency (EMA) instead of Milan.
The Dutch capital got the agency, which is leaving London due
to Brexit, after lots were drawn, as the final vote ended in a
13-13 tie.
"He said Spain voted for Amsterdam as rivalry, spite
prevailed over strategy," Maroni said, stressing that he had
spoken to Gentiloni on the telephone.
"It'll mean that we will support Catalonia more strongly in
its request for autonomy and independence".
