and
Giulia Grillo Since the inauguration of the government in June 2018, Toninelli has often been the handle to which the
Parliamentary opposition clung to define the
Conte Cabinet as "unprepared" and "incompetent". In September 2018, in the report to the Chambers, Toninelli denounced "pressures" he suffered from "AISCAT" (Italian association of motorway companies and tunnels) not to publish "the motorway concession contracts and all related annexes", with the opposition calling him for better clarity; two days later Toninelli presented the offending documents, which however proved to be issued in months of January and March and addressed to his predecessor,
Graziano Delrio. Later that same month, Toninelli announced the decree on the reconstruction of
Ponte Morandi, after its partial collapse that killed 43 people, proposing the idea of a "livable bridge where to eat and have fun"—definition that has left many colleagues confused and
Genoa people offended. In October 2018 Toninelli spoke about the "sectoral limitations by
South Tyrol authorities that strongly damage the
economy of Italy" referring to the
Brenner Pass, which however he erroneously called multiple times as the "
Brenner Tunnel". ==References==
