“We try to impose a useless, anachronistic and profoundly wrong work, in total waste of the rules, of administrative transparency and respect for the territories. The doubts raised by technicians, jurists, environmentalists and even by institutional bodies are systematically ignored, while trying to proceed with forced stages to armor a project that, in addition to not having any real utility, represents a colossal waste of public resources”. This is the comment of the association “instead of the bridge, citizens for the sustainable development of the Strait area” on the opinion of the Court of Auditors.
“In the request for clarifications of the accounting judiciary, the irregularities, the regulatory conflicts and the inconsistency of the technical-legal bases on which this hasty and opaque attempt to start the work are documented today.
The Court of Auditors – highlights the Committee – among other points, notes the illegitimacy of the procedure for approval of the Iropi Report, which in fact attest to the military value of the bridge; The lack of any in -depth analysis on the interlocutions with Brussels regarding the absolutely negative opinion on the environmental impact assessment is reported. The incomprehensible exclusion of the Superior Council of Public Works is stigmatized. In the very long list of deficiencies, misalignments of figures also appear, lack of compliance with technical prescriptions. And to add more critical aspect for some time, the accounting magistrates are also very perplexed about the traffic estimates that underlie the cost-benefit assessment. We strongly ask that this crazy race stops towards nothing, and that a serious and transparent discussion finally opens on the use of public resources, respect for the rules and on the future of infrastructures in our country. Enough with the shortcuts, enough with the works imposed from above: Italy needs vision, not propaganda, the bluff is now discovered “.
