“It’s like the Genoa bridge. We are here to support you. We have to do it quickly. We have to do it on time, there is no such thing as 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years for a work in Italy.” Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said this in Taranto during the ceremony for laying the first stone in the construction of the new hospital in San Cataldo. At the end of the ceremony, Prime Minister Conte briefly stayed with the workers involved at the construction site for a group photo. “But here – answered the governor of Apulia Michele Emiliano, present at the ceremony – we are in Puglia. We can do it” Then he added: “President Conte is like Lebron James: he changes teams, but always wins.”

The Temporary Group of Companies that will carry out the work, headed by Debar Costruzioni spa de Bari, with the stable Consortium COM, CN Costruzioni Sp, Edilco Srl, Grupo Mazzitelli and Icoser, promised to deliver the work in just 399 business days (compared to 1,245 places as a competition base), having three daily shifts (one night).

“In Taranto and in the south, the the government has made commitments“and” are not announcements, but concrete operational steps, “says the Prime Minister.” The large government delegation present here is a message that cannot escape: today a significant step is being taken in Taranto: after the first stone of the hospital in San Cataldo we placed other “stones” for projects to relaunch the city “.

“The whole South, and not just Taranto, requires specific projects, requires a relaunch and this is where we must act to close the digital divide. If there is no access to the Internet, article 4 of the Constitution, which establishes the right of everyone to participate in the social life of the country, cannot even be applied. And for this we must all have the same possibilities ”, added Conte.
