Longoni: Politicians display inexplicable ‘arrogance’ before even seeing Milan’s project

By Isak Möller -

AC Milan are facing an uphill battle in their La Maura pursuit. While both the Milan mayor and Lombardy president seem to be on board, the local politicians have decided to shut down the idea before even seeing the project. 

Milan are keen on building their new stadium in the La Maura area but the idea has been met with nothing but critique from the local politicians. A situation that is quite bizarre given that Milan haven’t even presented their project yet.

In his latest editorial for MilanNews, Andrea Longoni discussed what would have been a ‘laughable’ situation if it hadn’t been for the serious matter. Before even seeing the project, the politicians have displayed ‘arrogance’ by blasting the idea.

These local politicians clearly have a personal agenda against any sort of development for the city. After the San Siro stalling, Milan moved on to La Maura but are receiving the same treatment there.

The main issue, among many others, is that the politicians are speaking on behalf of the citizens without actually discussing the matter. ‘No one wants a stadium there’, they say, which is a dangerous statement since it’s not true.

Furthermore, the public debate for the San Siro area was in favour of the clubs and still, nothing happened. Milan, in 2023, is an enigma with an increasing gap to other European cities.

  1. Then they better sell san siro to Milan and let the club do proper modernization of it.. Milan NEEDS its own home. not rented

  2. This is what separates Italy from others in football. Italian politics and bureaucracy are just outdated and corrupt.

    They are Selfish and Corruptionists ,so they have not Right to be listlened orConsidered their Speach and Decsion agnist the La maura Stadium.
    They want to have Ransom for the hole will and the Tongue of the Milanese Societies or People.
    These Councilllors deserves to be Put on Trails and Expellled firom the council.
    We to see Milan Level like Madrid and not saying we have 40m for season budgets and not loaning while being the Champions of Italy.
    How about 600/700 M for Buliding Stadium at La Maura Area.It is Huge Benefit for local Peoble as well as the City and it is Graet Ecconomic Growth to the both of Business Sector,Government Tax, Job Crearion etc
