00:00The infrastructures are fundamental for Piedmont, and Piedmont is proof of that, so much so that the PIL of our region is growing at an average that keeps the national average.
00:13Piedmont has always grown less than the national average. It was always the tail light of the North.
00:18Today this situation is changing, and it is changing because the works of the Third Wall, i.e. Genoa-Rotterdam, and TAV, i.e. Lisbon-Kiev, are proceeding.
00:27We were unblocked in the past years, and today, thanks to our national government, they are proceeding well.
00:32They put us in a position to say that in seven years all the goods from Europe, which will cross from Lisbon-Kiev and Genoa-Rotterdam, will cross into our Piedmont.
00:43This was understood by the great multinationals.
00:46It was understood by Silicon Box, which in Piedmont chose to place a 3.5 billion euro intervention to make microchips 1,600 jobs.
00:56We won the competition of Lombardy, Veneto, and many regions of the South, because the infrastructures create attractiveness, because they create services.
01:04In this regard, we are reduced in these hours by an important meeting on the Asticuno.
01:10The Asticuno was considered by someone the Salerno-Reggio Calabria of the North, and alas, we inherited a situation like this.
01:17Thirty years of promises, unexpected promises.
01:20We, in our five years of government, have recovered the resources to complete it.
01:25We have made sure that even the last sheet, which in Italy is always missing in a country as complicated as ours, arrives.
01:32And today we can say that by 2025, the updated schedule tells us that the Asticuno will be usable from Asti to Cuneo in all its length by users.
01:43In this regard, we have also obtained a gesture that, beyond economic value, has a symbolic value.
01:48No tolls will be applied on the already finished sections, because it is a sign of respect for a territory that has been waiting for a work for many years.
01:56And therefore, the termination of this free flow that paid for the last section, which had just been delivered,
02:02is also a proof that we people not only want to give important services to people for their lives, for their companies,
02:09but we also have to respect the fact that these are public funds and that for too long this territory has been waiting in vain for such an important work.
