«The decision of the Court of Auditors is a serious damage for the country and appears to be a political choice rather than a calm technical judgement». Thus the Minister of Transport Matteo Salvini, who continues: «While waiting for the reasons, I immediately clarify that I did not stop when I had to defend the borders and I will not stop now, given that we are talking about a project hoped for even by Europe which will provide development and thousands of jobs from south to north. We are determined to follow all possible paths to get the works started. Let’s move forward.”
Meloni’s reaction
«The Court of Auditors’ failure to register the CIPESS resolution regarding the Strait Bridge is yet another act of invasion of jurisdiction over the choices of the Government and Parliament. On a technical level, the ministries concerned and the Presidency of the Council provided a timely response to all the findings formulated for today’s meeting; to get an idea of the speciousness, one of the complaints concerned the transmission of voluminous documents with links, as if the accounting judges were unaware of the existence of computers”, stated the prime minister, Giorgia Meloni.
