Campania Governor Advocates for Agricultural Event and Criticizes Government Funding Delays

“Today is a beautiful day. This initiative must become the first national zootechnical event, like Vinitaly in Verona for wine in the north. This is the commitment. We are ready to lend a hand to further grow this event, which has already tripled in the number of visitors and exhibitors compared to last year,” said the governor of Campania, Vincenzo De Luca, speaking in Benevento at CampaniAlleva, the most important zootechnical fair in Central and Southern Italy. Then De Luca pressed on: “CampaniAlleva defends quality and is the way to save the future”. He also took the opportunity to launch new harsh messages to minister Raffaele Fitto: “I don’t wake up in the morning to argue with minister Fitto. A year has passed and not a leaf has stirred. It is not tolerable for us who have to deal with a heavy social crisis, especially us who are an area with the widest social suffering in Europe. We are not Sweden: we have a very high level of female unemployment. Years pass and we discuss with the Ministry of Cohesion about the minutiae, the checks on samples. We are talking about the cohesion fund 2021/2027: it’s 2024 and we see nothing, we have not yet invested a euro - he emphasizes -. All this cries out for vengeance, we are for peace, but you have to give us the money. Electoral ceremonies do not generate revenue. We are ready to discuss it with everyone but the minister must tell us clearly when we will be able to use these funds.”
