Bridge on the Strait, Salvini: “The decision of the Court of Auditors does not change the times”

ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “The Court of Auditors has decided to submit the assessment to the central audit hearing section, which took place this morning, it is a choice that does not change the deadline for determining the registration, set at 7 November. The work done, not by a minister, but by hundreds of technicians, engineers, university teachers was serious, articulated and transparent. Obviously in compliance with Italian and European standards.” Minister Matteo Salvini said so, answering the question time at the Chamber.

“Environmental legislation has been respected, subject to a very impressive amount of technical and administrative in-depth studies. The bridge will save, according to the technicians, not according to politics, time, money and health with 200 thousand tons of CO2, less, emitted in the air a year”, he added.

“That a bridge has no public interest I find out today. Is the Bridge a waste? No, absolutely, regarding work in the first 72 hours arrived more than 8,000 resumes and required work by engineers, technicians, architects geometries. If you make the bridge do not do all the other works in Calabria and Sicily? It is true the exact opposite,” Salvini continued.

“We are returning to 7 million Italians the right to mobility and territorial continuity and is completely unfounded then the thesis of those who claim that we have concentrated the resources on the bridge to damage other infrastructures in Calabria in Sicily: this morning I intervened for the inauguration of the first lot of Catania -Palermo, 38 km of a modern, efficient, European infrastructure that will allow to arrive in two hours from Palermo to Catania. We are investing 23 billion euros in Sicily and 22 billion euros in Calabria. Do not make the bridge would absolutely no sense will improve the internal connections and with the rest of Europe”, he concluded.
