Minister of Transport Matteo Salvini Signs Preemptive Measures Against Rail Transport Strike
In an effort to prevent disruptions during a significant weekend event, Italian Minister of Transport Matteo Salvini has taken preemptive measures against ongoing rail transport strikes. The strikes were scheduled to take place between Sunday 19 and Monday 20 May.
Motivations Behind the Decision
According to official statements from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (MIT), this decision was “matured above all in view of the important weekend for Formula 1 enthusiasts.” The Made in Italy Made in Italy sports event and the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at the Autodrome of Imola were highlighted as key reasons for this decisive action.
Impact on Tourist Inflow and Public Order
The estimated influx of tourists and enthusiasts for the Formula 1 event is over 200,000 people. The MIT emphasizes that the strike would cause significant repercussions and problems relating to public order and safety.
Minister Salvini’s Order
“On the basis of these motivations, Minister Salvini therefore ordered the deferral,” adds the MIT. This order signifies that the rail transport strike has been postponed temporarily to ensure a smooth experience for attendees of the Formula 1 event.
