«Dr. Ciucci continues to repeat, perhaps also to convince himself, that the Bridge project is perfectthat there are no problems, that it has been ready and ready for construction for 20 years and those who raise doubts or highlight problems do so only because they are ideologically against the bridge. Ciucci, that’s not the case, it’s not the hateful no-bridge people who raise the problems. If you read the documents, you will see that the problem of the faults is raised by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers with the Department of Civil Protection with the guidelines published in 2015. The mapping of the faults that emerge under the foundations of the towers in Calabria is the one officially recognized in the national territory (Ispra catalog, Higher Institute for Environmental Protection and Research, subject to the supervision of the Minister of the Environment)”. This is stated in a note from the “Instead of the bridge” committee that opposes the construction of the bridge over the Strait.
“The critical issues related to the structural analyses have been highlighted, in an important way with dozens of prescriptions – he continues – by the members of the Scientific Committee appointed by the MIT, the Ministry that strongly wants the bridge. It is not by continuing to say that these are only recommendations that he will cancel the second part of the sentence that weighs like a millstone at the end of the CS opinion: “positive opinion on the Designer’s Report in the final version, without prejudice to the considerations, observations and recommendations reported in Sections 1 and 2 and in the Appendix of this document.” «The request to carry out tests on the cables is from the designer, you can find it in the project documents (document PS0043-FO) «Without knowing the outcome of the preparatory studies it is not possible to formulate hypotheses on a potential EU contribution to the construction activities of the planned bridge», is not a phrase said by a group of fanatics of the Strait of Messina but a statement by Commissioner Adina Valean given on behalf of the European Commission – continues Instead of the bridge – That the navigable waterway, a topic around which increasingly dark clouds are gathering, has been calculated in particularly favourable conditions is affirmed by its designers. The Italian State’s economic planning documents say that there is no financial coverage. The absence, particularly serious also in terms of transparency as well as technical, of all the estimate documents in what is defined as a definitive project is a fact affirmed indisputably with the delivery of the project that you in your capacity as CEO of SdM had carried out at Mase for the environmental impact assessment. Even the absurd desire to break up into lots a project that by its nature cannot be divided will not serve to make the individual parts acceptable. We will continue with a unitary reading that demonstrates the uselessness and non-sustainability, social, environmental, economic; of the bridge idea».
