Landslide Ischia, Conte: “No amnesty in 2018, stalemate released without exceptions”

The former premier: “We put 11 and a half billion on ‘Proteggi Italia’ but only spent a very small part”

“The 2018 one was by no means an amnesty. We found ourselves faced with a total blockade. In Ischia we found ourselves with requests for amnesty for about 27,000 homes out of about 60,000 total on the island. So it was necessary to speed up bogged down practices but it was not an amnesty and nor was there no derogation from hydrogeological constraints“. Thus Giuseppe Conte at ‘Mezz’ora in Più’ explains the interventions of the Conte 1 government, with Matteo Salvini’s League. “We tried to unblock an unmanageable situation but without derogating from any constraints”, he insists.



“Ischia is a tragedy in a very complicated territory, very much violated by hydrogeological instability. When I took office in 2018 – the 5 Star leader reconstructs – I found myself a mission unit that took 9 months just to make a project. So we have done ‘Protect Italy’a plan for which they have been allocated 11 and a half billion between Conte 1 and Conte 2″ in favor of the regions. “Of those 11 and a half billion, however, it was spending only a very small part“.

No repentance? “That dossier was very well educated, there were some perplexities why the objective situation of Ischia is very complicated. But it is a situation that needs to be resolved. We cannot say: ‘Let’s tear down all the houses and give families another island to live on. It is a question – underlines Conte – of joining a path that has already begun and we have tried to unblock a situation”.

“Today in Italy there is no Superman who solves hydrogeological instability but the government inherits the ‘Proteggi Italia’ plan. Maybe he wants to change it, but it’s there. And together with the funds of the Pnrr, now it can be done”, concludes the former prime minister.
