Milan appeals against move to rename airport after Berlusconi
Milan, September 30 (Hibya) - Milan council has appealed against a “grotesque” move to rename the city’s main airport after the scandal-tainted late former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi.
The assembly approved a decision to take the case to the Lombardy region's administrative court after Matteo Salvini, transport minister in Giorgia Meloni's far-right government, stepped up his attempt to rename Malpensa Airport.
Salvini has been pushing for the airport to be named after Berlusconi since the billionaire media mogul's death in June last year. This summer, Italy's civil aviation authority Enac gave the plan the go-ahead.
A public place can normally be named after a person after a 10-year waiting period after their death.
