Liguria Governor Giovanni Toti
said Friday that ensuring justice is done is the biggest
priority, a month after the Genoa bridge-collapse disaster in
which 43 people died.
"Justice is the first thing, knowing what happened, what
caused something like this," Toti said before a minute-silence
ceremony for the victims of the disaster.
"The prosectors are doing an extraordinary job and the
courtroom will tell us what happened".
Toti also called on central government not to hamper efforts
for the northern city to get back to normal.
The governor recently presented a project for a viaduct to
replace the collapsed Morandi bridge, designed by world renowned
architect Renzo Piano and featuring the involvement of highways
company Autostrade per L'Italia.
Central government has said it does not want the highways
company involved as it failed to prevent the disaster.
"We have taken on the burden of the emergency for a month,
doing an extraordinary job, and today we ask the government to
be able continue, to have help, not disturbance, because the
only job now is to reopen the bridge," Toti said.
