AP wants Messina Bridge bill tabled (2)

(ANSA) - Rome, September 27 - 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.
