(ANSA) - Rome, August 16 - Interior Minister and Deputy
Premier Matteo Salvini on Thursday blasted Atlantia after it
warned that the government was liable to pay a hefty penalty if
it goes through with an announcement that it will withdraw the
concession of its subsidiary, highways company Autostrade per
l'Italia, after Tuesday's bridge collapse in Genoa.
"Atlantia (Autostrade) once again manages to talk about money
and business, asking for more millions from the Italian people
in the case of the government's revocation of the concession
after the Genoa disaster, with incredible cheek and with dead
people who are still yet to be identified," Salvini, the leader
of the rightwing League party, said via Twitter.
"From the top of their full wallets (and their empty hearts)
they should apologize and give us the names of those who are
responsible for the disaster and must pay. We're not interested
in anything else".
