The vain promises of a southern renaissance were buried in just three lines of the note with which the government nominated Milan to EU headquarters of Unified Patent Court, e Torino as the headquarters of the Italian Institute of Artificial Intelligence. A decision defined as “strategic” and whose objective, says Palazzo Chigi, “is to create a synergy between the two cities and the government and at the same time consolidate the Northwest axis of the country: a strategy that would make Milan and Turin and, with it, Italy. ”In short, the old idea, now stale, that feeding the tanks of the so-called” Italian locomotive “can be transported to the wagons of the rest of the country. A pity that, to date, this idea has been completely unsuccessful.
Raggi: “I was wrong due to inexperience.” And he promises: “If there will never be a vote with the Democratic Party”
Campidoglio, Tajani: «Immediately more powers for Rome. Our candidate will be civic “

Rome and the south betrayed
The president of Svimez, Adriano Giannola, explained it clearly in the interview published yesterday by Messaggero. In the last ten years, as certified by the territorial accounts of the public administration, the South has received less investment than it should by 60 billion a year, which has condemned the South to backwardness. But feeding the “locomotive of the North” has not helped the North either, on the contrary it has drained the internal market of those same companies that today are suffering as never before. A suicidal strategy that the government, for unknown reasons, seems to want to continue.

THE STRATEGY
The same strategy used when it was decided to always nominate Milan as the headquarters of the European Medicines Agency, despite the fact that Lazio is the leading drug exporting region with 42% of the national total. The decentralized offices of the European institutions bring great development to the territories that host them. That is why the battle between big cities to get them is usually bloody. Just remember how the showdown between Milan and Amsterdam by the anti-drug agency was finally decided head-on with consequences and violent accusations. Or how Turin and Milan fought to get a candidacy for the Patent Court.
For Italy, then, there is an additional peculiarity: not only is any southern city completely ignored, but the capital, Rome, is completely excluded from European agency competitions. It is as if after the “no” of the board of the Rays to the candidacy to the Olympic Games the city had been eliminated from all the competitions. While the cities of the North compete for the European venues that are a harbinger of development and well-being for its citizens, Rome celebrates a clean staircase of weeds. The ordinary becomes extraordinary.
THE REACTIONS
Yesterday the secretary of the PD of Lazio, Bruno Astorre, accused the mayor. “Virginia Raggi – he said – does not lift a finger to bring the headquarters of the European Patent Court to Rome and once again the capital suffers the damages of the poor government of the junta. A very serious absence and an incredible resignation in the candidacies for a prestigious and strategic institution for Italy and Europe, “he said. However, the Lazio region is led by Democratic Party Secretary Nicola Zingaretti, who has not kept up. Instead, yesterday the president of Lombardy, Attilio Fontana, claimed his role. “Thanks to our pressure and the input of all the other stakeholders in the matter – he said – we have achieved the desired result. If the government has moved in this direction, let me underline it, it is also and above all because of the position that the Lombardy Region has taken in recent days, urging the executive, after a period of worrying silence towards us ».
On the other hand, the elaboration of Italian projects for the Recovery Fund should be cause for concern, especially in the South. The government promises that the 209 billion will pledge to reduce territorial distances. This is what Europe itself is asking for. For now, however, those same territorial distances that the government says in words that it wants to shorten as soon as possible, is actually feeding them.
