Ponte Stretto, the opinion of the scientific committee cools enthusiasm: it will take a long time
The times for the construction of the Strait Bridge must be reviewed. This was established by scientific Committee external chosen to evaluate the feasibility of the great work, strongly desired by Matteo Salviniwhich put down in black and white – we read in Repubblica – so many observations on the final project presented by private individuals, that the idea of the Minister of Infrastructures of open the construction site by summeras per the roadmap, is a mirage. Since yesterday, the leader of the League has found himself having to deal with the reality and not with promises: why in the 51 pages of the report the committee, appointed by the Ministry of Infrastructure in agreement with the Regions, could not do without report 68 “deficiencies” in the final project presented by the Eurolink consortium. Even if the opinion remains positive and from the Stretto di Messina company they specify: “These are recommendations only“.
Never reliefs – continues Repubblica – they are not formal and secondary but substantial: they concern the steel to be used, the seismic tests, the resistance in case of strong winds. “This project should have been rejected and a new one remade – attacks the Alleanza Verdi Sinistra deputy Angelo Bonelli — for these reasons I will deliver this report as a supplement to the complaint already sent to the Rome prosecutor's office.” Minister Salvini's reply is dry: “Let anyone think that the government building a bridge that is destined to collapse is absolutely crazy”. And the CEO of Stretto spa Pietro Ciucci adds: “The opinion is positive, and expresses some recommendations as required by law”. Salvini's plan to get the bridge back on track by dusting off the old frozen contracts – concludes Repubblica – has put the client back at the center of everything: the Stretto di Messina spa company, which only in the first year he has already spent 4 million for external consultancy contracts.
