France postpones its route of the Turin-Lyon high-speed train until after 2043 because "it is too expensive". La Repubblica writes, explaining that Paris intends to "build one of the access sections of the Tav in France only after the entry into operation of the Mont Cenis tunnel, between the end of 2032 and the beginning of 2033". The hypotheses and the timetable "have been elaborated by the IOC, the Conseil d'orientation des infrastructures", writes the newspaper, explaining that "graphs and evaluations are now on the table of the French government, just in time for the next Italian-French Intergovernmental Conference, set for June 22 in Lyon".
"Beyond the insults, controversies and provocations that we register with amazement, we are worried by the French hesitations about Tav. From Paris we expect clarity, seriousness and respect for the agreements: Italy has been and is of word, we cannot accept about-faces on an important work not only for the two countries but for the whole of Europe". So the deputy prime minister and minister Matteo Salvini.
