He criticized the slow bureaucracy for delaying payments to businesses and regional employees. Schifani announced that he will bring the issue to the regional council next Friday and hold hearings with the responsible directors to address the delays. He emphasized the need to ensure that citizens, businesses, and employees are paid by the public administration and stated that he will not tolerate such operations, calling for responsible actions from every individual in the region.
