Govt will revoke concession - Di Maio

(ANSA) - Rome, August 17 - Deputy Premier and Labour and Industry Minister Luigi Di Maio on Friday denied reports that the government was reconsidering its decision to revoke the concession of highways company Autostrade per l'Italia after this week's bridge-collapse disaster in Genoa. "I say this loud and clear - the political will is there. We want to revoke the concession of Autostrade per l'Italia," said Di Maio, the leader of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S).
    "You cannot keep pretending that nothing has happened.
    "These people continue to have the toll paid without doing ordinary and extraordinary maintenance and it's time to say no more.
    "They wrote that the government is holding back. That's false.
    "The government is accelerating and it will revoke the concessions".
