Exchange between the President of the Port System Authority, Francesco Mastro, and the group leader of Futuro Nazionale, Nicola Di Donna, following recent controversies on various port-related issues. The head of the port authority spoke during the presentation of the Adriatic Cup held at the Pic Nic Restaurant Beach Club, partially returning to the discussion that arose after the closure of the mole for the opening of the construction site, amid fears from those who worry that access to the structure may no longer be possible once work is completed—a place described by some as 'identity-defining'—and those who believe these interventions are necessary for the port's energy supply.
