Italian Government Party Will Fight Decree on Revoking Toll Road Concessions
Bloomberg reports, “Italy’s coalition government is gearing up for another divisive internal battle, after the party led by former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi said it would fight to scrap new rules that make it easier to revoke highway concessions. Luigi Marattin, a lawmaker in Renzi’s small Italy Alive party, told Bloomberg News that a decree approved in December to facilitate the termination of a contract with Atlantia SpA’s Autostrade per l’Italia unit, will hurt Italy’s standing with investors.” (TRN eliminated and inserted links in the quoted text.)
