«Yesterday there was the decision of the Court of Auditors which will have to be justified within 30 days to understand whether it is an issue of financial coverage or an administrative process. It is clear that, like all laws that must be completed, if the process gets stuck at a certain point it means that there is something that must be aligned with the regulatory procedures.” Thus, to AGI, Federico Basile, mayor of Messina, after the decision of the accounting judiciary not to give the green light after the Cipess resolution for the construction of the Bridge over the Strait.
«There is – he continues – a political will to continue the work, this seems clear, in recent years the process has been carried out with great speed, the last step was stopped, we need to understand the reasons». The government, Basile continues, «intends to move forward, perhaps waiting for the reasons, and this is quite clear, of course we have to understand what the Court of Auditors says, what it writes and what it finds, if it is a problem of an accounting coverage nature it makes sense, if there is a problem of administrative act of legitimacy it has another. It is a procedure which at this moment lacks the last legal piece, so before commenting I would await the contents, without prejudice to the fact that the government’s intention, which appears clear, is to proceed. So we are no more and no less than before, but with a new element that needs to be discussed and evaluated.”
