Milan to appeal against Malpen

Milan's municipal government on Friday said it has voted to appeal against the government's decision in July to name Milan's Malpensa Airport after late three-time premier and media mogul Silvio Berlusconi.
    The appeal will be promoted together with the other municipalities around Malpensa, Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala said on Friday.
    The municipal governments will appeal to Lombardy's regional administrative court (TAR), possibly as soon as next week.
    The transport ministry announced in July that Malpensa Airport would be officially named after Berlusconi in a decision slammed by Sala and leftwing parties who complained saying the former premier, who died in June last year aged 86, was, and remains, a divisive figure.
