ROME - Italy’s ruling 5-Star Movement is noisily threatening to rip up Atlantia’s motorway concession over last year’s deadly bridge collapse in Genoa, but sources have told Reuters the party is prepared to settle for revisions to its long-term deal.
Some analysts estimate that ending Atlantia’s contract could cost Rome as much as 24 billion euros , although the government says no payment would be due if it can prove the company’s negligence. Atlantia has always denied wrongdoing and already agreed to pay 439 million euros to rebuild the bridge, the remains of which were demolished last week.
Another prominent 5-Star source said its most important demand would be that Atlantia cut motorway tolls. Di Maio seemed to open the door to talks with Atlantia in an interview on Tuesday with daily la Repubblica, which quoted him as saying he was “ready to find a solution, provided Autostrade pays and there is justice for the victims.”
