After a deadlock maintained with the Piedmont Region for several months and the pressure from the populations who risk no longer being able to travel by rail, the elected officials of the regions concerned, Italian and French, have taken the initiative to protest publicly.
The problem dates back some time, but there’s no solution in sight; worse, there is a concern that this issue will fall victim to budgetary cuts. What else for the elected officials of the regions concerned, Italian and French, than to take the initiative to protest publicly?
The local authorities of Piedmont, Liguria, and the French P.A.C.A. region have been seriously worried for some time due to potential reductions in service on the Turin – Cuneo – Limone – Tende – Breil-sur-Roya – Ventimiglia – Nice railway line.
It is unnecessary to highlight the essential role this railway connection plays in the development of economic and tourist relations in the regions of Turin, Cuneo, Nice, Savona, Imperia, and the cross-border areas.
For Federico Borgna, mayor of Cuneo: “The support of the Italian and French States and the Regional Councils is essential to prevent any initiative by the Regione Piemonte that aims to reduce services on the aforementioned railway line.”
