Beppe Sala against Minister Provenzano, clash in the Democratic Party: "Hands off Milan"

During the forum organized by Huffington Post to Milan, the minister of the south Giuseppe Provenzano has addressed the "locomotive of Italy", claiming that "Milan gives less than it receives. A city that attracts but does not return anything to the country". The intervention of the minister comes a few days after the publication of the economic data of Assolombarda, which attest to a growth of the GDP Milanese of 9.7% between 2014 and 2018 (more than double compared to the national average of 4.6%).

Clear and immediate the response of the first citizen of the Lombard capital, Beppe Sala. All in all clash with the Democratic Party, in short: "It is true that Milan is engulfing all the growth that our country could deserve. But we don't have any selfish instinct. We return to the extent that we are asked or as far as we are able to do ". Furthermore, the mayor of Milan adds:" If the multinationals they choose us, there is a reason: the system works. We cannot hunt them down (…) We should rather find a formula as a country to widen their range of action (of multinationals) also elsewhere ". To date, 4,300 of the 8,000 multinationals based in Italy are in Milan. medal for value for the most attractive city in our country.
