European Transport Commissioner
Violeta Bulc on Monday said Europe wants to help Genoa after the
collapse of the Morandi bridge in August during a visit to the
port city with Italian transport Minister Danilo Toninelli.
"I am here to honor the memory of the victims, for a tribute
to the families who have suffered for this great tragedy and to
offer Europe's help", Bulc said.
Toninelli, a member of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement
(M5S) said, "this is the Europe we like", that "listens to the
needs of the territory".
The minister also said he was happy that "Bulc has approved
the agency for the security of infrastructures promoted by this
government".
Genoa's mayor and newly appointed reconstruction
commissioner, Marco Bucci, said last week that Genoa will have a
new road bridge replacing the one that collapsed killing 43 on
August 14 in a year to 16 months.
