“I believe it is a fundamental work, which not only Sicily and Calabria, but all of Italy and all of Europe have been waiting for 50 years. It is the completion of a framework that sees us investing 30 billion euros between roads and railways, between Sicily and Calabria in the coming years”, said the Minister on the sidelines of the meeting with the trade unions
”We talked about the Messina Bridge, there are different views on this. I believe it is a fundamental work, which not only Sicily and Calabria, but all of Italy and all of Europe, have been waiting for for 50 years. It is the completion of a framework that sees us investing 30 billion euros between roads and railways, between Sicily and Calabria in the coming years. If all goes as planned, the bridge will be passable in 2032 and will coincide with the completion of works on the 106 in Calabria and the Salerno-Reggio Calabria high-speed line and the upgrading of roads and railways between Palermo-Catania and Messina. We have an overall idea of the country’s development”. This was underlined by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Matteo Salvini, at the end of the meeting with the trade unions at MIT. “Don’t you want to block the country? It comforts me”. According to what has been learned, this is what the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister said during the discussion with the unions. In particular, the exchange took place with Gianna Fracassi of the CGIL. The meeting – the sources report – was cordial despite some distant positions expressed above all by Maurizio Landini’s organisation. At the end of the meeting, to joke about the determination of the owner of MIT on the bridge over the Strait, the leader of Uil, Pierpaolo Bombardieri, gave the minister a box of constructions for children to build a miniature viaduct. “But this is made in China!” Salvini replied laughing after looking at the box.
