NRRP: Minister Fitto says cooperation and discussions with Metropolitan City mayors are essential to achieve the results we are aiming for

9 March 2023

“I gladly accepted the invitation from the national president of ANCI [National Association of Italian Municipalities], Antonio Decaro, to hold discussions with the mayors of Italy’s Metropolitan Cities, following the positive opinion expressed by the ‘Regions-Provinces-Municipalities Unified Conference’. It really was a fruitful meeting: mayors are among the most important recipients of NRRP (‘National Recovery and Resilience Plan’) funding. I consider their requests legitimate, with simplification being the real key in implementing the NRRP. The cooperation we have begun and the meetings we have already had are valuable, which is why I have assured the mayors that these meetings will be repeated in future, with the mutual aim of developing a strategic synergy in the interest of the country” stated the Minister for European Affairs, Southern Italy, Cohesion Policy and the NRRP, Raffaele Fitto.
