Acqua alta a Venezia, Zaia sul Mose: "È uno scandalo nazionale. Perché non è in funzione?"

"I was probably in elementary school when they were talking about the Mose. We acknowledge that there are €5 billion underwater, and we still haven't figured out why it's not operational yet. From what we understand, the Mose is finished. It's not a project of the Veneto Region, but a state construction site. Let's get the Mose up and running so we can see if it works or not." This is how Luca Zaia, governor of Veneto, commented on the exceptional flood that hit Venice. Subscribe to Repubblica: https://s.repubblica.it/scopridipiu .
