New political and institutional clash on the project of the bridge over the Strait of Messina. “Today the close company of Messina has communicated to me yet another refusal to access the deeds relating to the contract and the additional act with Webuild. It is unacceptable that a public work costing 13.5 billion euros, entirely financed by the state, is surrounded by a level of secretity decidedly, in fact, on the private part for prejudice to its interests “, declares in a note Angelo Bonelli, parliamentarian of the Verdi and left alliance and co-portavoce of Europe Green.
Bonelli defines the position of the company “serious and dangerous”, who would even have argued that the qualification of parliamentarian does not legitimately access administrative documents. «I ask the government and the Cipess for the full publication of contracts, additional documents, technical relations and chronoprograms, in addition to the opinions and conditions referred to by the Ministerial Decree 35/2023. On a work that engages public resources, areas of shadow cannot exist: citizens have the right to know how money is spent and what obligations bind the state. I will continue to exercise any parliamentary prerogative and to say all the competent offices to guarantee transparency, legality and responsibility », adds the deputy.
The replica of the Strait Society of Messina, which rejects the accusations of secrecy: «No secrecy regarding the additional act signed with the general contractor Eurolink. As illustrated in the letter addressed to the honorable Bonelli – explains the company – the main content of the additional act will be made public as soon as it has become effective. This will happen after the registration of the Cipess resolution and the relative publication in the Official Gazette ». Finally, the company underlines that it has “always operated in full compliance with the rules and transparency”.
