The Democratic Party launches a hashtag against Salvini for the continuous delays of trains, planes and taxis: “Disastrous”

Yesterday, yet another ordeal: the railway line was suspended for five hours on the high-speed line between Rome and Naples with delays, limitations and cancellations for twenty-three trains. A recurring image in the nightmare season for transport. “Delayed trains, taxis unavailable, cancelled flights, traffic jams, construction sites open without planning, non-existent communications: the disastrous management of the Ministry of Transport is ruining the summer for millions of Italians”, attacks the Democratic Party. And in the crosshairs is Matthew SalviniDeputy Prime Minister and Head of Infrastructure and Transport. The Democratic Party group in the Chamber has launched a social campaign to “denounce the minister’s inefficiency in transport management”: photos and stories, accompanied by the hashtag #SalviniExperience.

Trenitalia, the inconveniences of August. Delays of up to two and a half hours on Milan-Venice, Milan-Bologna and Florence-Rome. “Enhancement works”

“We are facing a real ‘Italy case’ that is compromising the image of our country”, denounce the Democratic deputies, led by the group leader Chiara Braga: “It is emblematic that two years after taking office, Salvini still has not presented a plan for the transport and logistics sector”. And on this basis, they add, “this disastrous summer will be followed by an even worse autumn”.

The Vice-President of the Transport Committee, Andrea Case and all the Democratic members of the House Committee: Anthony Barbagallo, Old Bakkali, Valentina Ghio e Roberto Morassutaccuse Salvini of ‘using the institutions for propaganda rather than solving problems’ and underline how ‘the transport chaos is also heavily damaging the tourism sector’.

Salvini, also yesterday, tried to defend the performance of the sector. Referring specifically to trains, he said that “the punctuality rate today is 91% for regional trains and 83% for high-speed and intercity trains. We are recovering years of delay”, commented the leader of the League speaking at the Incontri al caffè de La Versiliana in Marina di Pietrasanta, in the province of Lucca. “While celebrating in Marina di Pietrasanta for some fortunately on-time trains, the Rome-Naples high-speed train was once again interrupted for hours, Salvini is playing Alice in Wonderland but he is the first person responsible for the transport chaos that Italy is experiencing and to which he has unjustifiably condemned millions of citizens and tourists with obvious economic damage”, retorted the PD deputy Piero DeLucason of the governor of Campania.
