The President of Tuscany Eugenio Giani signed in front of journalists, at the Palazzo della Regione in Florence, the authorization for the installation of the regasifier in the port of Piombino, in the province of Livorno.

Giani signed in his capacity as Extraordinary Government Commissioner for Works. “At this point, after the preparatory works”, for the positioning in the port, “can arrive in Piombino”, commented Giani after signing, referring to Snam’s Golar Tundra regasification vessel.

“There will be a drop in bills”

“For 60 million Italians, there will be lower bills, the possibility of offering a service and we will be able to have gas more easily without depending on Russia”. This is Governor Giani’s comment.

“My main reason for carrying out this function is to serve 60 million Italians and I am satisfied because I feel that we have rendered a positive service”.

Ferrari: “We will appeal to the TAR”

After the announcement, the mayor of Piombino Francesco Ferrari is ready to appeal to the TAR. “The signature by Commissioner Eugenio Giani of the authorization to carry out the work does not change anything: on Friday we had already replied that we would have challenged the authorization before the TAR and we will do so”.

“The Mayor of Piombino has stated that the issue is now no longer political but administrative and therefore considers as such, from an administrative point of view, that he sees elements in the procedure that he wishes to address in the framework of the administrative appeal. He is in his faculty, he can do it, I am absolutely not affected “.

The commission: “Democracy is only a vague return”

“We hoped until the end. Giani made us understand that in Italy the rule of law no longer applies, the constitution is nothing more than old paper, democracy is nothing more than a vague memory, under the pretext of an emergency, it claims the right to trample on the will of citizens, despite our mayor Ferrari and his very valid and knowledgeable experts bringing to light many critical issues. Despite everything, Giani put in this dastardly signing which will endanger not only Piombino, but also half of Va di Cornia”. Thus Francesca Marino, spokesperson for the Together Free Committee for Health.
