Trade Union Association of Bohemia, Moravia & Silesia

on the Genoa motorway bridge’s collapse

On behalf of the class-orientated Trade Union Association of Bohemia, Moravia & Silesia (OSCMS), we would like to express our deepest grief at the victims of the Genoa motorway bridge’s collapse some days ago. We express also our deepest condolences to both the bereaved and friends of the victims of the tragedy.

We reflect on the criticism of privatization of Italian infrastructure as well as of its profound neglect, resulting among other cases into this accident with 39 people dead and more than a dozen people to be injured, most of them seriously.

In the same time, we support the demand by the Party of Italian Communists the country’s infrastructure to be nationalized as soon as possible. We alert to the fact that the Italy’s accident isn’t an isolated one; tragic consequences can surface in any other country, Czech Republic included.
