When the region in recent months, provinces and municipalities have announced that the cuts of the national government to local public transport (TPL) would be unsustainable, they were not telling tales.
The sad now prediction has become reality. The money with which the region has covered the hole left by the government were taken from the Regional Fund of the house: the "life preserver" of the region was necessary, after Parliament rejected the possibility of using the funds for the Tpl Fass .
Next year, however, the region can not guarantee coverage cut imposed by the government to Tpl. The situation is dramatic. How many mayors have said in the national Democratic Party, "we are not magicians." The cutting Tpl is just another clear signal that the disaster is leading the center-right government.
The debate that has developed about possible cuts in jobs is the concrete consequence of this cleaver. Do not yield to the temptation to trace the responsibilities in municipalities, provinces and in the region: the cause of the disaster of Tpl is cutting structural Berlusconi's government. And the resources that the region has found today in 2011, next year, in 2012, there will be no more.
So, before talking about cuts to jobs, you need to quickly redefine the entire system of local public transport in our region. We have said clearly: we're going to race a single region. New, because in the past were provided at the provincial level competitions.
E 'that you get well soon around a table and starting to discuss how one company, one network of lines and check the possible integration between rail and road transport. Only then can then possibly talking about staff cuts. It can not do before. We are faced with difficult choices and complex.
The city of Pisa, thanks to the mayors, has a healthy company. One aspect that should not be set aside during the debate about the single: who will extinguish the debt, but those who were virtuous should not be affected.
